The protester alleged various improprieties it the request for proposals for a firm fixed-price contract for,1the design, fabrication, and installation of iL.:erpretive displays. An individual who files a protest in behalf of an association may continue the protest in behalf of his firm ihen the association subsequently withdraws fEom the protest. The agency's decision not to set aside procuremeat for small business is not subject to legal obje:tion. There is no requirement for the use of detailed design specifications in the procurement of creative design concepts. Where an agency seeks creativity and innovative approaches, thy !3ency is not required to award the contract on the basis of the lowest price since other factors are paramount. (.uthor/sc) doA
