handle is hein.gao/gaobadony0001 and id is 1 raw text is: G A O0 Comptroller General Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 Decision Matter of: Kingdomware Technologies; SDV Security, LLC File: B-406122; B-406122.2 Date: February 13, 2012 LaTonya Barton for Kingdomware Technologies; John H. Wray for SDV Security, LLC, the protesters. Capt. S.J. McGuigan, United States Marine Corps, for the agency. Susan K. McAuliffe, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that agency was required to set aside solicitation for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses is denied where agency reasonably estimated the value of the procurement as below the simplified acquisition threshold and properly set the solicitation aside for small business concerns. DECISION Kingdomware Technologies and SDV Security, LLC protest the terms of request for quotations (RFQ) No. M67001-12-Q-0020, issued by the United States Marine Corps for web-based mass emergency notification services. The protesters contend that the agency improperly failed to set the procurement aside for service- disabled veteran-owned small business concerns (SDVOSB). We deny the protest. The RFQ, issued on October 21, 2011 under a combined synopsis/solicitation, was issued as a small business set-aside for the procurement of Mass Emergency Notification Service for Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. Agency Request for Dismissal, at 1. Prior to the solicitation closing date, Kingdomware contacted the agency to learn why the solicitation had not been set aside for SDVOSBs. The agency advised Kingdomware that a small business set-aside was appropriate since the anticipated dollar value of the procurement did not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold of $150,000, established by Federal Acquisition Regulation § 2.101. Thereafter, the protesters filed the subject protest challenging the agency's set-aside decision.
