Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This version has been Decision approved for public release. Matter of: All Phase Solutions, LLC File: B-420376 Date: January 31, 2022 Lawrence J. Sklute, Esq., and Lana Meller, Esq., Sklute & Associates, for the protester. Wade L. Brown, Esq., Carlin R. Walsh, Esq., and Joseph S. Beazley, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency. Evan D. Wesser, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging the Small Business Administration's (SBA) decision not to issue a certificate of competency (COC) is dismissed because the protester's arguments that the SBA failed to follow applicable regulations when SBA did not consider the protester's alternate proposed key personnel is legally and factually insufficient. There is nothing in the applicable regulations that required SBA (or the procuring agency) to accept proposal revisions as part of the COC process. DECISION All Phase Solutions, LLC, a small business of Delray Beach, Florida, protests the refusal of the Small Business Administration (SBA) to issue a certificate of competency (COC)1 to All Phase for its proposal under request for proposals (RFP) No. W56ZTN- 19-R-0005, which was issued by the Department of the Army, for the establishment of multiple-award, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts for maintenance, repair, and minor construction on Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. All Phase alleges that the SBA failed to follow its applicable COC regulations when it failed to evaluate the protester's responsibility based on its proposed substitute key personnel. We dismiss the protest. 1 A COC is the certificate issued by the SBA stating that the holder is responsible for the purpose of receiving and performing a specific government contract. Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 19.601(a).
