Heffernan, Esq., Watt, Tieder & Hoffar, for the protester. Alex D. Tomaszczuk, Esq., and Devon E. Hewitt, Esq., Shaw Pittman Potts & Trowbridge, an intervenor. Cecilia R. Jones, Esq., and Alden Abbott, Esq., Department of Commerce, for the agency. Marie Penny Ahearn, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency properly rejected protester's proposal as technically unacceptable where solicitation required offerors to submit drawings and data to establish that offered item met design requirements, and protester's drawings and accompanying description did not indicate that all requirements were met. DECISION CHI Fabrication Services (CHI) protests the award of a contract to General Scientific Corporation under request for proposals (RFP) No. 52-PAPT-6-00009, issued by the Patent and Trademark Office, Department of Commerce, for the design and fabrication of file/mail carts. The protester challenges the evaluation of technical proposals. We deny the protest. The solicitation contemplated the award of a fixed-price, indefinite-quantity contract for a base year, with four 1-year option periods, to provide a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 300 carts. It included required dimensions, materials, and features of the cart, but left it to offerors to propose viable configurations. The solicitation included a rough drawing of what the cart to be proposed should resemble and instructed offerors to provide all necessary drawings and data that will assure the functional features have been met, as well as a bill of materials of all components which discloses the type and grade of materials and that they meet structural and design constraints as set forth. Generally, the solicitation required the cart to have the minimum dimensions of 51 inches height, 19 inches depth and 40 inches width, 610122
