Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States Decision Matter of: AutoFlex, Inc File: B-415926 Date: April 19, 2018 Luis D. MacDonald, for the protester. Aleia Barlow, Esq., Department of Veterans Affairs, for the agency. Paula J. Haurilesko, Esq., and Laura Eyester, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that the agency unreasonably terminated the protester's contract is denied, where the agency reasonably terminated the contract in response to a successful agency-level protest by another vendor. 2. Post-award protest that the agency failed to set the procurement aside for veteran- owned small business concerns is dismissed as untimely, where the solicitation identified the procurement as set aside for small business concerns. DECISION AutoFlex, Inc., a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) of Baltimore, Maryland, protests the termination of its contract and the subsequent award of a contract to District Fleet, LLC, a small business of Thurmont, Maryland, under request for quotations (RFQ) No. 36C1 OX1 8Q0041, issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for the lease of executive vehicles. AutoFlex contends that the VA unreasonably terminated its contract, failed to conduct the procurement in accordance with the Veterans First Contracting Act,' and failed to provide AutoFlex with a debriefing. 1 Under the Veterans First Contracting program, acquisitions must be set aside for SDVOSB or veteran-owned small business (VOSB) concerns if the VA determines that there is a reasonable expectation, based on market research, that offers will be received from at least two eligible SDVOSB or VOSB concerns and that award can be made at a fair and reasonable price. 38 U.S.C. § 8127; 48 C.F.R. § 819.7006.
