The protester objected to the failure of agency to
award to it a contract under a request for proposals for
air-filter elements. GAO did not find objectionable the preawari
decision of the procuring agency to cancel the request for
proposals, which limited purchase to a specific firm's part
number or to identical itris supplied to that firm, and to
resalicit on a basis which will permit wider competition. The
protest seeking consideration of a proposal which had been
rejected as technically unacceptable under the original
restrictive solicitation was therefore academic. (Author/SC)
