Dennis Foley, Esq., Rebecca Tranthem, Esq., and Candice Cornish, Esq., Department of Veterans Affairs, for the agency. Jacqueline Maeder, Esq., Scott H. Riback, Esq., and David A. Ashen, 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 requirements at a reasonable price before proceeding with Federal Supply Schedule acquisitions. DECISION Aldevra, of Portage, Michigan, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) concern, protests the terms of solicitation Nos. 554-12-2-081-0038 and VA-248-12-Q-0823,1 issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for, respectively, refrigerators for the Eastern Colorado Healthcare System, Denver, Colorado, and for miscellaneous kitchen equipment for the North Florida/South Georgia Veterans Health System. The protester asserts that the agency improperly failed to comply with the requirement of the Veterans Benefits, Health Care, and Information Technology Act of 2006, 38 U.S.C. §§ 8127-8128 (2006) (the VA Act), and its implementing regulations to determine whether these procurements should be set aside for SDVOSB (or veteran-owned small business (VOSB)) concerns. We sustain the protests. 1 The solicitations also were designated as FedBid Buy Nos. 317682 and 321897.
