          DIGEST

          Protest challenging rejection of offer for certain hospital products is denied where
          offeror failed to furnish a sufficient description of the products.
          DECISION

          Crystal Clear Technologies, Inc., of St. Petersburg, Florida, protests the rejection of
          its offer under solicitation No. 3QSA-JB-1 00001-B - REFRESH #9, issued by the
          General Services Administration (GSA) under its Multiple Award Schedule (MAS)
          program for certain hospital products. The solicitation sought offers using GSA's
          Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) Schedule 71, Furniture, Special Item Number (SIN)
          71-318, Patient Service Systems, identified as medical head-walls or patient service
          columns for general patient care. The protester argues that the agency erred in
          rejecting its offer based on the firm's failure to provide a sufficient description of its
          product. The protester also contends that the agency improperly rejected its
          proposal based upon Crystal Clear's failure to submit accurate and complete
          Commercial Sales Practice Formats (CSP-1s).

          We deny the protest.

          BACKGROUND
          The solicitation contemplated the award of multiple 5-year fixed-price, indefinite-
          delivery, indefinite-quantity contracts under GSA's FSS MAS program for medical
          head-walls or patient service columns for general patient care under FSS Schedule
          71, SIN 71-318. Solicitation at 48. Medical head-walls are wall-mounted systems
          that deliver medical gases and electrical power requirements to manage the needs
