         DIGEST

         Protest challenging an agency's affirmative determination of the awardee's
         responsibility on the ground that the contracting officer may have failed to consider
         relevant responsibility information is denied where the record shows that the
         contracting officer was aware of and considered the information at issue as part of
         the responsibility determination.
         DECISION

         Wild Building Contractors, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Compton
         Construction Company, Inc. under invitation for bids (IFB) No. W912QR-04-B-00021,
         issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, for construction of a combat mission
         flight simulator facility at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. Wild challenges the agency's
         affirmative determination of Compton's responsibility.

         We  deny the protest.

         The IFB here was issued on January 12, 2004, and called for the construction of a
         32,000 square foot addition to an existing building at Fort Campbell to house a
         combat  mission flight simulator facility. On its cover page, the IFB advised that this
         procurement  was reserved for small business firms registered with the Small
         Business Administration's (SBA) historically underutilized business zone (HUBZone)
         program.  The solicitation also advised that the applicable small business size
         standard for this procurement was $28.5 million in annual receipts. IFB at 23.
