Sims, for the protester. Lt. Col. Roger G. Palmer, Esq., United States Marine Corps, for the agency. Evan D. Wesser, Esq., and Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protests challenging a provision in commercial item solicitations as contrary to customary commercial practice are denied where the protester does not show that the provision is inconsistent with customary commercial practice, and where the provision is reasonably related to ensuring compliance with a mandatory legal requirement. 2. Protests challenging a solicitation provision as unduly restrictive of competition are denied where the agency has articulated reasonable bases for imposing the requirement. DECISION JRS Staffing Services, of Lawrenceville, Georgia, a small business, protests the terms of request for quotations (RFQ) Nos. M67001-14-T-1 188 (RFQ 1188), M67001-14-T-1191 (RFQ 1191), and M67001-14-T-1192 (RFQ 1192) (collectively, the RFQs), which were issued by the United States Marine Corps. The protester argues that the RFQs, which were issued for religious education and music services, contain terms that are inconsistent with customary commercial practice and unduly restrictive of competition. We dismiss in part and deny in part the protests.
