The protester alleged ttst the award r.f a contract was
the result of inadequate and unfair competition because an
alternative product not available to the protester mas
considered for award. This protest was untimely since it was not
filed prior to the date set for receipt cf proposals. The
solicitation clearly provided for the consideration cf agecified
alternative products, The fact that the protester as the former
incumbent miqht suffer financial hardship as a result of loss of
the contract provides no basis for questioning the award where
cast was established as the sole criteriao for discriminating
auonq competitors. (Author/SC)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobadgrv0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
