D.C. 2054U LNIT -~ FILE: B-192310 DATE: JulY 26, 1978 MATTER OF: Bud Johnson Construction Co., Inc. DIGEST: Protest concerning small business size status of bidder is not for consideration by C'neral Accounting Office since by law it is a matter for decision by Small Business Administration. Bud Johnson Construction Co., Inc.,protests the small business size-status of Watson-Forsberg Co. which was awarded a contract with the Veterans Adminis- tration pursuant to invitation for bids No. 618-42-78, a small business set-aside. The protester contends that Watson-Forsberg Co. was not eligible for this award because of its affiliation with Watson Construction Co., a large general contractor, and several of its affiliates. The protester asserts that officers of Watson-Foraberg also sit on the boards of directors of many of these affiliated companies. Thus, the protester contends that Watson-Porsberg should not be considered a small busi- ness concern. Under 15 U.S.C. S 631(b) (1976), the Small Busi- ness Administration is empowered to conclusively determine matters of small business size status for Federal procurement and sales purposes. Accordingly, the matter is for resolution by the Small Business Ad- ministration and not this Office. Pine Products Cor- pration; Timber Investors, Inc., B-191483, March 21, 1978, 78-1 CPD 239. Therefore, the protest is dis issed. -Paul G. De 1 ng General Counsel |
