         Matter of:  Starlight Corporation, Inc.

         File:       B-410471.2

         Date:       December 30, 2014

         Johnathan M. Bailey, Esq., Bailey & Bailey, P.C., for the protester.
         Lt. Col. James H. Kennedy III, Maj. Michael G. King, and Deborah L. Collins, Esq.,
         Department of the Air Force, for the agency.
         Pedro E. Briones, Esq., and Nora K. Adkins, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
         GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
         DIGEST

         Protest that agency unreasonably set aside an acquisition for service-disabled,
         veteran-owned small businesses is denied where the agency's market research
         demonstrated that at least two such firms would likely submit proposals and that
         award could be made at a fair and reasonable price.
         DECISION

         Starlight Corporation, Inc., of San Diego, California, protests the terms of request for
         proposals (RFP) No. FA3047-14-R-0006, issued by the Department of the Air Force
         for aircraft services. Starlight, the incumbent contractor (and a women-owned small
         business, WOSB), asserts that the RFP should not have been set aside for
         service-disabled, veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB).

         We deny the protest.
