Matter of: Bridges System Integration, LLC File: B-411020 Date: April 23, 2015 Jonathan D. Shaffer, Esq., and Mary Pat Buckenmeyer, Esq., Smith Pachter McWhorter PLC, for the protester. Kathleen K. Barksdale, Esq., General Services Administration, for the agency. Gary R. Allen, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest of the rejection of a protester's proposal under a General Services Administration Federal Supply Schedule (GSA FSS) solicitation is denied where the agency reasonably found that the proposal failed to comply with the solicitation's material requirements for information, and the protester refused to provide the information when the agency expressly requested it. 2. Protest challenging the propriety of the terms of an open GSA FSS solicitation as unduly restrictive of competition is untimely as to a proposal already submitted. 3. Protest challenging the prospective application of the terms of a GSA FSS solicitation for future evaluations as unduly restrictive of competition is denied where the challenged terms are reasonably related to ensuring compliance with mandatory statutory requirements. DECISION Bridges System Integration, LLC, of Herndon, Virginia, protests the rejection of its proposal submitted in response to solicitation No. 3FNG-RG-020001-B (schedule 58 solicitation), issued by the General Services Administration (GSA) for the award of contracts under multiple award schedule No. 58 for the provision of commercial audio/video products. Bridges argues that the agency's interpretation of the solicitation's terms is unduly restrictive of competition, and that the agency evaluated Bridges' proposal in an unfair and unequal manner.
