         File:        B-406980

         Date:     October 10, 2012

         William L. Sasz, Esq. for the protester.
         MAJ John C. Dohn, Department of the Army, for the agency.
         Susan K. McAuliffe, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General

         DIGEST

         Protest arguing that solicitation improperly restricts competition in violation of the
         Competition in Contracting Act by consolidating portable latrine waste disposal
         services with waste disposal services for permanent latrines is denied where the
         record supports the agency's conclusion that combining the requirements is
         reasonably necessary to meet the agency's needs.
         DECISION

         Major Contracting Services, Inc. (MCS), of Colorado Springs, Colorado, protests the
         consolidation of requirements for sanitary waste disposal services for portable
         latrines with disposal services for permanent latrines (including septic tanks) at Fort
         Leonard Wood, Missouri, under request for proposals (RFP)
         No. W91 1S7-12-R-0015 issued by the Department of the Army. MCS argues that
         the consolidation improperly restricts competition in violation of the Competition in
         Contracting Act (CICA).

         We deny the protest.

         BACKGROUND

         On March 1, 2012, the Army issued a solicitation, set aside for small business
         concerns, for portable latrine and permanent latrine (including septic tank) waste
