Joseph R. Weidenburner, Esq., Defense Logistics Agency, for the agency. Eric M. Ransom, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that agency improperly applied a domestic item restriction established by 10 U.S.C. § 2533a is denied where the agency reasonably determined that items being procured (electrical gloves) are items of clothing and therefore covered by the restrictions set forth in section 2533a. DECISION Integrity Supply, of Elkton, Maryland, protests the rejection of its proposal submitted in response to request for proposals (RFP) No. SPM1 Cl-10-R-0024, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency for electrical gloves. Integrity maintains that the agency improperly applied a domestic item restriction to reject its offer of gloves manufactured in Malaysia. In this regard, Integrity argues that the domestic item restriction does not apply because the gloves are not an item of clothing. We deny the protest. The solicitation contemplated the award of an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract to supply electrical insulation gloves for a base year, and up to four 1-year option periods.' 1 Specifically, the solicitation sought proposals for Electrical Gloves, 1,000 Volt National Stock Number (NSN) 8415-01-158-9454(s), 7,500 Volt (NSN) 8415-01-158-9449, and 17,000 Volt (NSN) 8415-01-158-94446(s).
