Protest that solicitation provides insufficient and misleading information is denied where the record shows that the agency provided, through the solicitation and a required site visit, information sufficient for vendors to compete intelligently and on a relatively equal basis. 2. Protest that solicitation is unduly restrictive of competition and provides an unfair competitive advantage to incumbent contractor is denied where the requirement is reasonably necessary to meet the agency's needs and the record does not show any unfair action or preferential treatment. DECISION Active Deployment Systems, LLC (ADS), a small business of San Marcos, Texas, protests the terms of request for quotations (RFQ) No. 70B01 C24Q00000074, issued by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), for the construction of, and services supporting, a temporary soft-sided facility used to detain individuals for processing in North Eagle Pass, Texas. The protester contends that the terms of the solicitation provide insufficient information for intelligent competition, are unduly restrictive of competition, and provide an unfair competitive advantage to the incumbent contractor. We deny the protest.
