Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to Decision a GAO Protective Order. This version has been - - - - - - approved for public release. Matter of: Global Engineering Services, LLC File: B-421866 Date: October 2, 2023 Jonathan D. Perrone, Esq., and Hay Kyung Chang Lanteigne, Esq., Whitcomb, Selinsky, P.C., for the protester. Marcia A. McCree, Esq., Department of Veterans Affairs, for the agency. Michael P. Grogan, Esq., and Evan D. Wesser, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that the agency should be prevented from proceeding with award--based on the contracting officer's prior representation that the protester's failure to extend its bid acceptance period would result in the agency cancelling and resoliciting for its requirement--is dismissed where the protester is not an interested party to challenge the award, and our Office lacks the jurisdiction to consider the protester's estoppel argument. DECISION Global Engineering Services, LLC (Global), a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) of Midvale, Utah, protests the award of a contract to SGC Services 2, LLC (SGC), a small business of Gresham, Oregon, under invitation for bids (IFB) No. 36C78623B001 1, issued by the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA), for construction services at the Cedar City National Cemetery in Cedar City, Utah. The protester contends the agency's decision to award a contract, rather than cancel the IFB and resolicit bids, was unreasonable. We dismiss the protest. BACKGROUND The agency issued the IFB on March 19, 2023, as a small business set-aside, pursuant to the procedures of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) part 14. Agency Report
