DIGEST

Contracting officer properly awarded a contract more than 10 working days after
the Small Business Administration (SBA) received a size status protest against the
prospective awardee where the SBA did not issue a decision on the protest within
the 10-day time period prescribed in the Federal Acquisition Regulation and in the
SBA's regulations, even though a government furlough that affected SBA personnel
contributed to the delay.
DECISION

Systems Research and Applications Corporation (SRA) and Infotec Development,
Inc. protest the award of a contract to Cordant, Inc., pursuant to request for
proposals (RFP) No. F19628-94-R-0016, which was set aside for exclusive small
business participation. The protesters contend that Cordant was ineligible for
contract award because the Small Business Administration (SBA) determined that
Cordant was other than a small business offeror for purposes of this procurement.

We deny the protests.

Issued on November 14, 1994, the RFP sought proposals for providing the Defense
intelligence community with the capability to accomplish requirements analysis,
engineering design, and integration services for off-the-shelf commercial hardware
