Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States Decision Matter of: Al Baz 2000 Trading & Contracting Company, W.L.C. File: B-416622.2 Date: December 12, 2018 Udhay Bhasin for the protester. Patricia Walter, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Louis A. Chiarella, Esq., and Peter H. Tran, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that agency's solicitation unreasonably failed to specify the licenses required for performance is denied where solicitation required generally the contractor to comply with all necessary permits and licenses. 2. Protest that solicitation unreasonably failed to include a requirement that offerors possess required drivers licenses at time of proposal submission, rather than at the time of performance, is denied where the record provides no basis to deviate from the general principle that this Office does not permit a protester to use the protest process to advocate for more restrictive government requirements. DECISION Al Baz 2000 Trading & Contracting Company, W.L.C., of Hawally, Kuwait, protests the terms of request for proposals (RFP) No. N33191-18-R-0612, issued by the Department of the Navy, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, for transportation services. Al Baz argues the solicitation contains ambiguities and other defects that preclude a fair competition. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND The RFP, issued on March 12, 2018, contemplates the award of a fixed-price contract for a base year with four 1-year options for transportation services for the Department of Defense activities, installations, and organizations at various locations within the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Sultanate of Oman, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Qatar.
