Pietrovito, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that an agency failed to apply a Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) price evaluation preference is denied, where the agency reasonably found that the protester, a certified HUBZone small business, had not agreed to perform certain conditions required by Federal Acquisition Regulation clause 52.219-4, Notice of Price Evaluation Preference for HUBZone Small Business Concerns, that was incorporated into the solicitation. DECISION Wakan, LLC, of Ramah, New Mexico, protests the award of a contract to Tyson Foods, Inc., of Springdale, Arkansas, under request for proposals (RFP) No. SPM300-13-R-0014 issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) for chicken products. Wakan, a Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) small business concern, argues that DLA failed to apply the HUBZone price evaluation preference in accordance with the terms of the solicitation. We deny the protest.
