          Matter  of:  Greystones Consulting Group, Inc.

          File:        B-402835

          Date:        June 28, 2010

          Venable LLP, for the protester.
          Trisha L. Besselman, Esq., and George W. Griffith, Esq., Department of Homeland
          Security, Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, for the agency.

          DIGEST

          Where  contract award under a solicitation set aside for competition among small
          businesses under the Small Business Administration's section 8(a) program was
          made  to an offeror found to be other than small, and where no small business offeror
          was eligible for award, there is no basis to object to the agency's decision not to
          terminate contract immediately, in light of agency's need for uninterrupted services
          and agency's plan to promptly conduct a new competition.
          DECISION

          Greystones Consulting Group, LLC, of McLean, Virginia, protests the award of a
          contract to CWU, Inc., of Clearwater, Florida, under request for proposals (RFP)
          No. HSFLGL-09-R-00004, issued by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for
          roleplayer services at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC),
          Glynco, California. The RFP was issued as a competitive set-aside for small
          businesses under the Small Business Administration's (SBA) section 8(a) program.
          The protester asserts that because the awardee has been found to be other than
          small with respect to this procurement, the agency must open discussions with the
          other offerors, make a new award under the RFP, and terminate CWU's contract.


We  deny the protest.
