         DIGEST

         Protest alleging that Small Business Administration improperly failed to conduct
         adverse impact analysis when accepting requirement into the section 8(a) program
         is denied when such an analysis was not required under the circumstances.
         DECISION

         Professional Security Corporation (PSC), of Hattiesburg, Mississippi, protests the
         decision by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for
         Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Small Business Administration
         (SBA) to place a requirement for security guard services under the SBA's section
         8(a) business development program through the award of contract No. 200-2014-
         59525 to Chenega Total Asset Protection LLC, of Anchorage, Alaska, an Alaskan
         Native Corporation (ANC). PSC argues that the SBA failed to perform a required
         adverse impact determination.

         We deny the protest.

         BACKGROUND

         for security guard services at the CDC's Atlanta, Georgia, and Fort Collins,
