File: B-402728.3 Date: July 13, 2012 Timothy W. Carnahan, for the protester. MAJ Christine Fontenelle, Department of the Army, for the agency. Noah B. Bleicher, Esq., and Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that procurement consolidating information technology support services was an impermissible bundling of requirements is denied, where the agency reasonably determined that consolidation would result in substantial cost savings and efficiencies and was necessary to meet the agency's needs. 2. Protest that procurement should be set aside for small business concerns is denied, where agency reasonably found, based upon market research and the publication of a sources sought notice, that the agency was not likely to receive proposals from at least two small businesses with sufficient experience to perform the overall requirement. DECISION CYIOS, Inc., of Washington, D.C., protests the Department of Defense (DOD), Defense Information Systems Agency's (DISA), issuance of solicitation No. EG0206-00, under the General Services Administration's (GSA) Alliant government-wide acquisition program, for information technology (IT) support services. CYIOS alleges that the solicitation constitutes improper bundling of requirements, and that the agency violated applicable small business set-aside requirements. We deny the protest.
