Description

The Department of the Air Force issued RFQ No. FA500425Q1001 for an upgrade to a CCTV system, including replacing cameras, routers, and digital video management units with 4K resolution, integrated with existing infrastructure. Mission Analytics, LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business, protested the solicitation's technical specifications as unduly restrictive and challenged the award to Wingmann, LLC, alleging improper withdrawal of a small business set-aside and ineligibility of the awardee. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) dismissed the protest due to untimeliness and because Mission Analytics was not an interested party, having submitted a late quotation and untimely protest.
