Kang, Esq., and John Sorrenti, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging a solicitation requirement that a joint venture competing for the award, as opposed to the individual members of the joint venture, hold a top secret facility clearance is sustained where the requirement is prohibited by the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2020 as well as by regulations issued by the Small Business Administration.
