Jacqueline Maeder, Esq., and Paul I. Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Under small business set-aside, agency properly rejected quotation which indicated that the vendor would supply foreign-made end item because such set-asides are restricted to sources supplying domestically produced products. DECISION TRS Research protests the rejection of its quotation under request for quotations (RFQ) No. DABT51-99-Q-0193, issued by the Department of the Army for certain freight containers.
