handle is hein.gao/gaobadrgt0001 and id is 1 raw text is: G A O Comptroller General Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has Decision n approved for public release. Matter of: Triad Isotopes, Inc. File: B-411360 Date: July 16, 2015 Kelley Doran, Esq., W. Barron A. Avery, Esq., Michael P. Giordano, Esq., and Jeffrey M. Pederson, Esq., Baker & Hostetler LLP, for the protester. Harold W. Askins III, Esq., Department of Veterans Affairs, for the agency. Heather Weiner, Esq., and Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest is sustained where the agency's market research was insufficient to conclude that the agency would likely receive quotations from at least two responsible small business concerns that could meet the requirements in the RFQ at a fair market price, and therefore, the agency's decision to restrict the solicitation to small business concerns was unreasonable. DECISION Triad Isotopes, Inc., of Orlando, Florida, protests the decision of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to issue request for quotations (RFQ) No. VA247-15-Q-0330, for the acquisition of radiopharmaceuticals, as a small business set-aside. Triad contends that the agency's market research did not provide a reasonable basis to conclude that the agency would receive proposals from two or more small business concerns, and therefore, argues that the requirement should be competed on an unrestricted basis. We sustain the protest.
