handle is hein.gao/gaobadbeo0001 and id is 1 raw text is: li AL A , GA O Comptroller General Acc untabiity * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 D .. Decision Matter of: Chicago Dryer Inc. File: B-402340 Date: February 16, 2010 H. K. Tyler Jr. for the protester. Capt. Bridget E. Keenan, Department of the Army, for the agency. Paul E.

Quoted equipment had to meet specified power requirements and be suitable for installation in the available space, including a minimum of 16 inches between the stacker and a concrete support post.
