          Rodney Marshall for the protester.
          Dennis Foley, Esq., Department of Veterans Affairs, for the agency.
          Jacqueline Maeder, Esq., and David A. Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,

          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. VA260-12-Q-0953,
          VA243-12-Q-1420, VA245-12-Q-0326, 512-12-3-4894-0216, VA244-12-Q-1010,
          VA244-12-Q-1020, VA244-12-Q-1036, and VA244-12-Q-1056,1 issued by the
          Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for miscellaneous kitchen equipment for VA
          Medical and Health Care Centers at various locations throughout the United States.
          The protester asserts that the agency improperly failed to comply with the
          requirements 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 were also designated as FedBid Buy Nos. 345736, 355221,
          357567, 358367, 359162, 359576, 360259, and 360776, respectively.
