 on a sole-source basis where it did not establish that only
 the incumbent contractor could provide the services within
 the required time frame and where it could have avoided the
 urgency that ultimately led to the sole-source award through

 2. Awardee alleging protective order violation by acompe-
 titor is not entitled to the costs of filing and pursuing a
 protest seeking the competitor's exclusion from the compe-
 tition on a follow-on contract or the material's release to

 insistence for protective order coverage, and then released
 the material from coverage in response to the awardee's
 protest.
