DIGEST Protest against solicitation requirement that vendors provide written certification for Spanish GED instructors at the time of quotation submission is denied where the record establishes that the requirement for such certification at the time of quotation submission is necessary to meet the needs of the agency. DECISION JRS Management of Lawrenceville, Georgia, protests the terms of request for quotations (RFQ) No. P06111000019, issued by the Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), for educational support services at the Federal Detention Center (FDC) in SeaTac, Washington. JRS contends that certain requirements incorporated in the solicitation by amendment unduly restrict competition. We deny the protest.
