No party requested redactions; we are therefore releasing the decision in its entirety. Decision Matter of: Quantico Arms & Tactical Supply, Inc. File: B-400391 Date: September 19, 2008 Lars E. Anderson, Esq., and Peter A. Riesen, Esq., Venable LLP, for the protester. Eugene Kim, Esq., United States Marine Corps, for the agency. Paul N. Wengert, Esq., and Ralph 0. White, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest arguing that a request for quotations issued to Federal Supply Schedule contract holders for flame-resistant long-sleeved base garments improperly fails to include detailed size measurements is denied where the record shows that the lack of size specifications will not prevent vendors from preparing quotations and competing on a common basis. DECISION Quantico Arms & Tactical Supply, Inc., a small business, protests the terms of a solicitation for long-sleeved flame-resistant shirts by the United States Marine Corps under request for quotations (RFQ) No. M67854-08-Q-3039. Quantico objects that the solicitation is ambiguous, and thus will not provide for a fair competition. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND This procurement involves long-sleeved shirts that are part of the Marine Corps's flame-resistant organizational gear (FROG). The Marine Corps posted the RFQ electronically as a small business set-aside using the General Services Administration (GSA) e-Buy system on July 2, 2008. The RFQ sought quotations from Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) vendors to supply an initial quantity of 120,000
