The protester objected to a request for proposals which
specified that & mandatory data base management software package
would be furnished by the Governsent to the successful offeror,
contending that this condition improperly restricted competition
since only companies with IBM equipment could use the package.
The use of the package in this case was not found to be clearly
lacking a reasonable basis and, uin*i' several offerors were
competing for the award, competition was not unduly limited.
