          File:        B-406205

          Date:     March 14, 2012

          Rodney Marshall for the protester.
          Dennis Foley, Esq., Department of Veterans Affairs, for the agency.
          Matthew T. Crosby, Esq., Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., and Sharon L. Larkin, Esq.,
          Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          The Veterans Benefits, Health Care, and Information Technology Act of 2006
          requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to determine whether two or more
          service-disabled veteran-owned small business concerns can meet its requirement
          at a reasonable price before proceeding with a Federal Supply Schedule
          acquisition.
          DECISION

          Aldevra, of Portage, Michigan, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business
          (SDVOSB) concern protests the terms of solicitation No. 666-12-1-992-0002,1
          issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for an ice maker/dispenser for
          shipment to Sheridan, Wyoming. Aldevra asserts that the agency improperly failed
          to comply with an applicable statute and regulation to determine if this procurement
          should be set aside for SDVOSB concerns.

          We sustain the protest.

          BACKGROUND

          This procurement is being conducted pursuant to General Services Administration
          Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) procedures and implementing regulations, set forth
          at Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 8.4. See Agency Report (AR) at 1.


1 The solicitation also was designated as FedBid Buy No. 311768.
