                                     o9

                DIGEST:

                1.    A complaint alleging that Federal
                      subgrantees' specification?: for mobile
                      and fixed station radio systems s'ere
                      unduly restrictive, filed four months
                      after the opening of offers, was not
                      filed within a reasonable time and
                      therefore will not. be considered.  In
                      order to be considered filed within a
                      rei9onable time, complaints based
                      on alleged improprieties in grantee
                      solicitations, which are apparent
                      prlor to bid cpening or the closing date
                      for rdceipt of initial proposal, must be
                      filed in accordance with time standards
                      established for bid protests in direct
                      Federal procurements.

                 2.   A subgrantee solicitation for radio sys-
                      tems, which permits deviations from
                      specifications if the offeror demon-
                      strates in its proposal that the devia-
                      tions do not degrade the performance of
                      the system and that the offered system
                      meets the general intent of the spetuifi-
                      cations, does not permit an offer to
                      propose a nonconforming system without
                      documenting that the nonconforming sys-
                      tem meets the performance requirements.
