File: B-283927 Date: January 24, 2000 Carol E. McCallister for the protester. Scarlett D. Grose, Esq., General Services Administration, and Kevin R. Harber, Esq., and John W. Klein, Esq., Small Business Administration, for the agencies. John L. Formica, Esq., and James Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Agency's sole-source award of contracts for services on a monthly basis through the Small Business Administration under the section 8(a) program, while the agency was developing specifications for a 1-year contract to be awarded on a sole-source basis through the section 8(a) program is not inconsistent with the provision in Federal Acquisition Regulation § 19.805-1(c) that prohibits an agency from dividing a proposed section 8(a) requirement into several separate action in order to avoid the $3 million threshold for competing such contracts. 2. Agency is not required to include four 1-year options in a solicitation for a 1-year contract for services under the section 8(a) program so that the contract's estimated value would exceed the $3 million threshold which would require that the requirement be competed. DECISION Champion Business Services, Inc. protests the sole-source award by the General Services Administration (GSA) of a number of indefinite-quantity contracts with 1-month periods, as well as GSA's issuance of a solicitation on a sole-source basis with a 1-year performance perio d, through the Small Business Administration (SBA) under the section 8(a) program to Gonzales Consulting Services, Inc. for dispatch and security system monitoring services. We deny the protest.
