Matter of: Tech62, Inc.
File:     B-420883; B-420883.2
Date:     October 3, 2022
Jonathan D. Perrone, Esq., and Timothy J. Turner, Esq., Whitcomb Selinsky, P.C., for
the protester.
Deborah K. Morrell, Esq., Department of Veterans Affairs, for the agency.
Uri R. Yoo, Esq., and Alexander O. Levine, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,

DIGEST
1. Protest challenging agency's decision not to set aside a procurement for
service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSBs) is denied where the
agency reasonably concluded that it did not have a reasonable expectation of receiving
quotations from two or more SDVOSBs capable of performing the required services at a
fair and reasonable price.
2. Protest alleging an ambiguity in the solicitation is denied where the protester did not
demonstrate that its interpretation is reasonable when the solicitation is read as a whole
and in a manner giving effect to all provisions.
DECISION
Tech62, Inc., a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) of Fairfax,
Virginia, protests the terms of request for quotations (RFQ) No. 36C24822Q1383,
issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), for onsite radiation oncology
services by therapeutic medical physicists (TMP) at the VA's Bay Pines Healthcare
System in Bay Pines, Florida. Tech62 argues that the agency improperly failed to set
the acquisition aside for SDVOSB concerns or veteran-owned small business (VOSB)
concerns and that the terms of the solicitation are unclear and ambiguous.

We deny the protest.
