Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States ....................................................................................................................... DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to Decision a GAO Protective Order. This version has been approved for public release.----------------------------- Matter of: Veterans Electric, LLC File: B-415883; B-415884 Date: April 12, 2018 Joseph A. Whitcomb, Esq., and Andrew R. Newell, Esq., Whitcomb, Selinsky, McAuliffe PC, for the protester. Brian R. Reed, Esq., Department of Veterans Affairs, for the agency. Paula A. Williams, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that the agency was required, under a service-disabled veteran-owned small business procurement, to make an award to the protester rather than cancel solicitation and re-compete agency requirements is denied where the record shows that the protester was the only firm to submit a quotation and the quotation was not technically acceptable. DECISION Veterans Electric, LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB), located in Colgate, Wisconsin, protests the decision by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), to cancel request for quotations (RFQ) No. 36C252-18-Q-01 12, a SDVOSB set-aside, and to re-compete its needs for a nurse call/code blue system at the VA Medical Center (VAMC) in Madison, Wisconsin under RFQ No. 36C252-18-Q-0382, which was a set aside for small businesses. The protester argues that the agency violated applicable law and regulation when it cancelled the underlying solicitation and reissued the solicitation as a set-aside for small business concerns.1 We deny the protest. 1 Because this decision contains a discussion of more than one RFQ, citations and references to each solicitation are identified by the last four digits of the RFQ number.
