handle is hein.gao/gaobadqcv0001 and id is 1 raw text is: SG A O Comptroller General Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 Decision Matter of: Hughes Group Solutions File: B-408781.2 Date: March 5, 2014 Floyd Driver, Hughes Group Solutions, for the protester. Michael G. McCormack, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Katherine I. Riback, Esq., and Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest is dismissed where the protester is essentially challenging the awardee's 8(a) status, because our Office has no jurisdiction to hear challenges to an offeror's size status under the Small Business Administration's (SBA) 8(a) program. 2. Protest of evaluation of proposals is denied where record shows agency's evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the solicitation's evaluation factors and applicable procurement rules. DECISION Hughes Group Solutions, of Tacoma, Washington, protests the award of a contract to G&E Technologies, LLC, of Albuquerque, New Mexico, under request for proposals (RFP) No. FA9401-13-R-0009, issued by the Department of the Air Force for transient aircraft/alert services at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico.' Hughes challenges the awardee's 8(a) status, and also contends that the agency unreasonably credited G&E with the experience and past performance of its subcontractor, C2G, Ltd. Co. We dismiss in part, and deny in part, the protest. 1 G&E is a joint venture between Galactic Network Integrators, Inc., an 8(a), service-disabled, veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB), and Entereza, Inc., a small business. G&E's proposed subcontractor is C2G, Ltd. Co., an SDVOSB firm. Agency Report (AR), Tab 5, G&E's Past Performance Proposal, at 3.
