Decision Matter of: California Industrial Facilities Resources, Inc., d/b/a CAMSS Shelters File: B-403397.3 Date: March 21, 2011 Paul F. Khoury, Esq., and Brian G. Walsh, Esq., Wiley Rein LLP, for the protester. R. Zenjiro Schaper, Esq., Defense Logistics Agency, for the agency. Scott H. Riback, Esq., and David A. Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that solicitation is unduly restrictive because it requires firms to submit proposals based solely on a brand name list of particular products is sustained where the solicitation does not include salient characteristics for the brand name products, and the agency has not taken the steps necessary to procure its requirements using other than full and open competition. DECISION California Industrial Facilities Resources, Inc., d/b/a CAMSS Shelters, of Monroe, Washington, protests the terms of request for proposals (RFP) No. SPM8EJ-10-R- 0004, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) for tents, shelters and associated accessories. CAMSS asserts that the RFP fails to include specifications that are adequate for purposes of competing for the agency's requirements. We sustain the protest. BACKGROUND The RFP was issued as part of the tailored logistics support (TLS) program. The agency intends to award multiple indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (ID/IQ) contracts for the acquisition of commercial tents and shelters, along with associated accessories, for a base year with three 1-year option periods. The agency advises that the requirement is for approximately $800 million worth of tents, shelters and accessories.
