not question unless the determination is unreasonable.

Global Services Corp' (GSC), of Favetteville, North Carolina, protests the award of a
contract to Assessment and Training Solutions Consulting Corporation (ATSCC),

of the Army as a small business set-aside, for medical instructors and administrative

under the set-aside, and therefore, the agency should cancel the solicitation and re-
