DIGEST Protest that contracting agency improperly offered a requirement for loan servicing support services for competitive award to a small disadvantaged business under the Small Business Administration's 8(a) program is denied where the protester has not shown a violation of procurement regulation or that the agency acted in bad faith. DECISION Deval LLC, of Irvine, Texas, protests the terms of request for proposals (RFP) No. DU208WR-13-R-0005, issued by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for loan servicing support services. Deval, the incumbent contractor, is a small business that recently graduated from the Small Business Administration's (SBA) 8(a) business development program. The protester challenges the agency's decision to offer this requirement to the SBA for procurement under the 8(a) program, asserting that the agency's actions violated procurement regulations and were in bad faith. We deny the protest.
