Summary

Strong Environmental, Inc. protests the decision of the Library of Congress to provide for the disposal and recycling of "talking book" cassette tape players through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between itself and Federal Prison Industries, Inc. (UNICOR), rather than through a previously conducted competitive solicitation for the same requirement. Strong contends that the Library has improperly used the UNICOR MOU for the requirement and should have awarded a contract to Strong under the solicitation.

We deny the protest.
