File: B-406336 Date: April 23, 2012 Christopher J. Noyes, Crosstown Courier Service, Inc., for the protester. Kate Gorney, Esq., and Dennis Foley, Esq., Department of Veterans Affairs, for the agency. Jacqueline Maeder, Esq., Scott H. Riback, Esq., and David A. Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that Department of Veterans Affairs improperly set aside a Federal Supply Schedule task order acquisition for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses is denied where record shows that agency's actions were an unobjectionable exercise of its authority to acquire goods and services using other than competitive procedures pursuant to 38 U.S.C. § 8127(b). DECISION Crosstown Courier Service, Inc., of Chicopee, Massachusetts, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) concern, protests the proposed issuance of a task order to Medical Logistic Solutions, Inc. (MLS), of Centennial, Colorado (which also is an SDVOSB concern), under MLS's Federal Supply Schedule contract pursuant to request for quotations (RFQ) No. VA261-12-Q-0379, issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for courier services to transport biological samples from three community-based outpatient clinics (OPCs) to the VA Medical Center in Sacramento, California. Crosstown asserts that the agency improperly failed to comply with the requirements of the Veterans Benefits, Health Care, and Information Technology Act of 2006, 38 U.S.C. §§ 8127-8128 (2006) (the VA Act), and its implementing regulations. We deny the protest.
