Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST A procurement for support services for the evaluation of jet aviation emissions was properly set aside exclusively for small business participation where the contracting officer reasonably determined that submission of offers reasonably could be expected from at least two responsible small business concerns at a fair market pric e. DECISION Air Transport Association protests request for proposals (RFP) No. XX7001, issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a small business set-aside for support services for the evaluation of jet aviation emissions. Air Transport protests the small business set aside and other terms of the RFP. We deny the protest in part and dismiss it in part. The RFP, issued on October 27, 1997, by publication in the Commerce Business Daily, contemplated the award of a firm, fixed-price contract for two tasks. Task 1 was for the review of information and the preparation of a working paper report concerning fuel use and nitrogen oxides trade-off issues based on engine designs. Task 2 was for the research of information on high speed civil transportation and the preparation of a memo discussing likely scenarios of environmental impacts relating to engine design. The RFP stated that delivery of a draft working paper for Task 1 would be required within 4 weeks of award, and delivery of the final working paper would be required within 2 weeks of the contractor receiving EPA's written comments on the draft. The delivery date for a draft memo for Task 2 was January 30, 1998, and delivery of a final memo was required within 1 month of the contractor receiving EPA's written comments. The government estimate for the procurement was $40,000.
