DIGEST Protest that set-aside for Historically Underutilized Business Zone concerns should have been withdrawn because prices received were unreasonably high is denied where the contracting officer properly relied on multiple relevant factors to determine that the awardee's price was reasonable. DECISION Ashland Sales and Service Company/Macon Garment Inc., a Joint Venture, (AM-JV) protests the decision of the Defense Logistics Agency, Defense Supply Center Philadelphia (DSCP), to award a contract to Zacbac Apparel, LLC under solicitation No. SPMIC1-07-R-0209, a Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) set-aside for men's long-sleeved Air Force shirts.

HUBZone Solicitation at 65.
