Decision Matter of: Ideal Fastener Corporation File: Date: B-404206 January 11, 2011 Marc Lamer, Esq., Kostos & Lamer, PC, for the protester. Seth Bogin, Esq., and William Robinson, Esq., Department of Justice, for the agency. Brent A. Burris, Esq., Eric M. Ransom, Esq., and Edward T. Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging UNICOR's use of the term fasteners, rather than slide fasteners, in title of solicitation notice posted on the Federal Business Opportunities website is denied where the solicitation notice was not misleading, and thus did not deprive the protester of an opportunity to respond to the solicitation. DECISION Ideal Fastener Corporation (IFC), of Oxford, North Carolina, protests request for proposals (RFP) No. CT2025-10, issued by Federal Prison Industries (UNICOR) for twenty-two commercial products to be used in the manufacture of military uniforms. IFC argues that the title of the synopsis for the solicitation posted by UNICOR on the Federal Business Opportunities website (FedBizOpps)' was misleading where it referenced fasteners, rather than the actual solicitation requirement for slide fasteners, and thus, frustrated IFC's ability to respond to the solicitation. We deny the protest. 1FedBizOpps, www.fbo.gov, is the government-wide point of entry (GPE) for the electronic publication of solicitation notices. Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) § 2.101 (2010).
