Protest that solicitation terms included requirements for experience that exceeded the
agency's needs and unduly restricted competition is denied where the record shows
that the agency reasonably exercised its discretion to establish requirements to ensure
successful performance of services that would affect human safety.
DECISION
AMD CM II, LLC, of Freehold, New Jersey, a small business, protests the terms of
request for proposals (RFP) No. N6945022R0049, issued by the Department of the
Navy, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, for commercial grounds maintenance
and landscaping services at Naval Air Station Kingsville, in Kleburg County, Texas, and
Navy Auxiliary Landing Field Orange Grove, in Jim Wells County, Texas. AMD argues
that the terms of the RFP exceed the agency's minimum needs and thus unduly restrict
competition.

We deny the protest.
