C. .20548 FILE: B-193403; DATE: March 12, 1980 B-193411; B-193418 MATTER OF: JY Security Assistance Forces and ) Equipment oHG -9Reconsideration DIGEST:I-- Where specifications restrict purchase of smoke detectors to photoelectric-type, alle- gations that agency is engaged in unwarranted and unjustified campaign to preclude from clonsideration ionization-type smoke detectors are untimely when not made prior to closing dates for receipt of offers under solicita- tions in question and prior decision dis- missing as untimely protest based on those allegations is affirmed. However, agency advises that it will no longer limit purchases to photoelectric-type smoke detectors. Security Assistance Forces and Equipment oHG (SAFE) has requested reconsideration of our decision in Secu- rity Assistance Forces and Equipment oHG, B-193403, B-193411, and B-193418, August 14, 1979, 79-2 CPD 119, in which we dismissed as untimely SAFE's allegations p that the Department of the Army (Army) was engaged in an unwarranted and unjustified campaign to preclude the purchase of ioniz-ation-type smoke detectors for use in Army-owned family housing in the Federal Republic of Germany. The Army had restricted its purchases to photoelectric-type smoke detectors because it believed local German law, applicable to the Army under Article 53 of the Supplementary Agreement to the NATO Status of Forces Agreement, required it to enter into a series of costly maintenance contracts with the manufacturer of an ionization-type smoke detector or its authorized representative for the life of the smoke detector.
