This redacted version has been Decision a.roe for. Matter of: RELM Wireless Corporation File: B-405358 Date: October 7, 2011 Anne B. Perry, Esq., Jonathan S. Aronie, Esq., Franklin C. Turner, Esq., and Townsend L. Bourne, Esq., Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton LLP, for the protester. Howard B. Rein, Esq., The Department of the Navy, and Sam Q. Le, Esq., Small Business Administration, for the agencies. Cherie J. Owen, Esq., and Sharon L. Larkin, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protester is not an interested party where, as here, even if the protest is sustained, the protester will be ineligible for award under the remaining terms of the solicitation. DECISION RELM Wireless Corporation protests the terms of request for proposals (RFP) No. N68335-1 1-R-0043, issued by the Department of the Navy, for a very high frequency-high band trunked simulcast land mobile radio system (VHF-HB LMR) for the U.S. Capitol Police. RELM contends that the agency has improperly bundled its requirements and that the agency has not shown that the consolidation is justified. We dismiss the protest on the basis that the protester is not an interested party. The RFP, issued on May 31, 2011, seeks a contractor to provide four components of the VHF-HB LMR system: infrastructure components, voice logging recorders, dispatch system consoles, and subscriber units. The RFP comprises 83 pages, including tables of requirements for the entire system, as well as requirements applicable only to certain components of the system. As relevant here, attachment 1 to the solicitation, which sets forth general requirements to which the entire system must conform, informs offerors of the system requirements for Over the Air Programming (OTAP). RFP at 75.
