This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: Global Technical Systems File: B-411230.2 Date: September 9, 2015 William A. Roberts III, Esq., Richard B. O'Keeffe, Jr., Esq., and Samantha S. Lee, Esq., Wiley Rein LLP, for the protester. Gwendolyn laci, Esq., and Greg Lennon, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Cherie J. Owen, Esq., and David A. Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging the agency's decision not to set aside a procurement for small business concerns is denied where the agency reasonably concluded from its market research that it did not have a reasonable expectation of receiving proposals from two or more small businesses capable of performing the required services at a fair and reasonable price. 2. Protest that solicitation's requirement for engineering services is ambiguous and vague is sustained where the solicitation fails to provide sufficient information to allow offerors to intelligently prepare their proposals and compete on a common basis for a fixed-price indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract. DECISION Global Technical Systems (GTS), of Virginia Beach, Virginia, a small business, protests the terms of solicitation No. N00024-15-R-5201, issued by the Department of the Navy, Naval Sea Systems Command, for common processing system technology insertion (TI) 16 equipment. GTS contends that the procurement should have been set aside for small businesses and that the solicitation does not provide sufficient information to allow offerors to compete on a common basis. We sustain the protest.
