Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to Decision a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release.

Mobly, Esq., Department of Veterans Affairs, for the agency. Joshua R. Gillerman, Esq., and Tania Calhoun, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that solicitation is unfairly tailored to a competitor's proposal is denied where the record supports the agency's position that the requirement is reasonably necessary to meet the agency's needs. 2. Protest that agency improperly consolidated and bundled requirements is dismissed as untimely where the protester failed to challenge these alleged improprieties before the solicitation's initial closing date.
