           Matter of:   Parcel 49C Limited Partnership

           File:        B-412552; B-412552.2; B-412552.3

           Date:        March 23, 2016

           Richard J. Conway, Esq., Michael J. Slattery, Esq., and Heather L. Petrovich, Esq.,
           Blank Rome LLP, for the protester.
           Michael P. Klein, Esq., and Edith Toms, Esq., General Services Administration, for
           the agency.
           Gary R. Allen, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
           GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
           DIGEST

           1. Protest arguments challenging the terms of a solicitation are dismissed as
           untimely when submitted after the closing date for the receipt of initial proposals.

           2. Protest grounds purporting to challenge an agency's determination that a
           property proposed for lease is unawardable is dismissed as premature where such
           determination is contingent on events that have not yet taken place.

           3. Protest that certain solicitation requirements are unduly restrictive is denied
           where the agency's justifications for the requirements are reasonable and withstand
           logical scrutiny.
           DECISION

           Parcel 49C Limited Partnership (Parcel 49C), of Washington, D.C., protests the
           terms of request for lease proposals (RLP) No. 3DC0421, issued by the General
           Services Administration (GSA), Public Buildings Service, for a lease of office space
           in Washington, D.C., to be occupied by the Federal Communications Commission
           (FCC). The protester challenges the RLP as overly restrictive of competition.


We dismiss the protest in part and deny it in part.
