This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Cambridge Systems, Inc. File: B-400680; B-400680.3 Date: January 8, 2009 Antonio R. Franco, Esq., Isaias Alba, IV Esq., and Kelly E. Buroker, Esq., Piliero Mazza PLLC, for the protester. William A. Roberts III, Esq., and Richard B. O'Keeffe, Jr., Esq., Wiley Rein LLP, for Chugach/Evergreen Joint Venture, the intervenor. Maj. Carla T. Peters, Department of the Army, for the agency. Paula A. Williams, Esq., and Ralph 0.

Cambridge, the apparent awardee which was later determined ineligible for award under the applicable small business size standard, challenges the agency's decision to establish a revised competitive range rather than cancel and reissue the solicitation on an unrestricted basis. We deny the protest. The ICIDS-IV is a detection system used to monitor designated areas and facilities for all military installations located inside and outside the continental United States. The objective of the ICIDS-IV program is to provide a standard configuration that will allow personnel to take the required action when unauthorized attempts to enter
