Utah Foam Products, Inc. (Utah) a supplier of spray-applied urethane foam insulation (SUF), requests reconsideration of our decision, Utah Foam Products, Inc., B-195820, April 3, 1980, 80-1 CPD 249, which denied the firm's protest. The protest concerned the alleged restrictiveness of the Army Corps of Engineers' inter- pretation and implementation of its construction guide specification to exclude the use of Utah's product in the repair, insulation and reroofing of six warehouses at the Defense Depot, Ogden, Utah. The guide specification provides that, except for composite board, insulation ure- thane is not permitted on a steel roof deck, which is the type of deck present in four of the six buildings. We affirm our prior decision. Our prior decision never reached the restrictiveness issue because we found that Utah was unwilling to comply with other specification requirements which we believed were included in the specification as a result of the Corps' reasonable exercise of its technical judgment of the project's total requirements. For example, specifi- cation No. 5566 required the removal of all layers of the existing bituminous, or built-up, roof system (BURS) IIJ260
