Agency reasonably found awardee's proposed system to be commercially available where it was of a type customarily used by, and had been sold to, the general public, in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation definition incorporated by the solicitation, as amended. 2. Protest that awardee's proposal was technically unacceptable, because the awardee did not propose a Braille study function, is denied where the solicitation did not require such a function. DECISION Electronic Vision Access Solutions (EVAS) of Westerly, Rhode Island, protests the award of a contract to Integration Technologies Group, Inc. (ITG) of Falls Church, Virginia, under request for proposals (RFP) No. TIRNO-08-R-00029, issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Department of the Treasury, for hardware, software, and related support services for qualified individuals with disabilities.

We deny the protest.
