DIGEST Protest challenging the agency's affirmative responsibility determination is dismissed where protester has not identified any available relevant information the contracting officer failed to consider in making his determination. DECISION Robert F. Hyland & Sons, LLC (Hyland), of Rochester, New York, protests the award of a contract to Check 6, LLC, of Brigham City, Utah, by the Department of the Army, Army Materiel Command under invitation for bids (IFB) No. W25G1V-15- B-0001 for the construction of an enclosed walkway between buildings at Tobyhanna Army Depot in Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania. Hyland contends that the agency's affirmative determination of the awardee's responsibility unreasonably failed to consider available relevant information. We dismiss the protest. On February 24, 2015, the IFB was issued as a set-aside for service-disabled, veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB). IFB at 1, 5. As relevant here, the IFB stated that award would be made to the responsible bidder who submits the lowest-priced, responsive bid. IFB at 64. Additionally, the IFB stated that prior to award, the bidder shall provide three references demonstrating successful performance within the last three years of projects similar in scope and magnitude to the current procurement. IFB at 18. When bids were timely submitted and opened on April 14, Check 6 was determined to be the apparent low bidder.
