Sole-Source Procurement of Rifles Unobjectionable, GAO B-415261, FN America, LLC

Protest challenging a sole-source award for a follow-on contract is denied, where the agency determined that it required the same model of rifle already in use to ensure standardization and safety, and reasonably concluded that awarding to any other source would likely result in duplication of procurement costs that would not be recovered through competition, and would cause unacceptable delays in fulfilling the requirements.
