German, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Henry J. Gorczycki, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency reasonably rejected protesters' quotations for pneumatic rubber fenders as technically unacceptable where the quotations included product literature that did not show compliance with the standards required by the solicitation. DECISION ProMar and Urethane Products Corporation protest issuance of a purchase order to Fender Care Naval Solutions Limited under request for quotations (RFQ) No. N65540-03-Q-0274, issued by the Department of the Navy, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for pneumatic and hydro-pneumatic rubber fenders for use in berthing and mooring ships and submarines. The protesters allege that the agency unreasonably rejected their proposals as technically unacceptable. We deny the protests. 'A pneumatic fender is inflated with air and floats on the surface of the water to serve as a protective buffer for ships. A hydro-pneumatic fender is similar but contains water in addition to pressurized air, and has a weight attached to one end so that the fender is partially submerged as a protective buffer for submarines.
