Fryling, Esq., and Edward J. Hoffman, Esq., Blank Rome Comisky & McCauley, for the protester. Capt. Gregory A. Moritz, Department of the Army, and John W. Klein, Esq., and Kenneth Dodds, Esq., Small Business Administration, for the agencies. Susan K. McAuliffe, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest of consolidated procurement is sustained where solicitation consolidated procurement requirements previously provided under separate smaller contracts, and was likely to be unsuitable for award to a small business, and thus constituted a bundled procurement, and record shows that agency failed to comply with requirements to demonstrate that bundling was justified. 2. Agency improperly failed to coordinate its anticipated consolidated procurement with the Small Business Administration, as required by statute and regulation, since small business contractors currently perform work included in the consolidated procurement and magnitude of the consolidated procurement renders small business participation unlikely. DECISION TRS Research, a small business, protests the terms of request for proposals (RFP) No. DAMTO1-02-R-0028, issued by the Department of the Army, Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC), for the award of a fixed-price indefinite-quantity contract for container program management services to meet Department of Defense (DOD) needs for leased intermodal container equipment worldwide. 'The intermodal containers permit transshipping of cargo among sea, highway, rail and air modes of transportation.
