           Decision

           Matter of:  SEK Solutions, LLC

           File:       B-406939.2

           Date:       February 27, 2014

           Ronald K. Henry, Esq., Jennifer B. Patterson, Esq., John S. Cahalan, Esq., and
           David M. Hibey, Esq., Kaye Scholer LLP, for the protester.
           Allison Colsey Eck, Esq., and Judith Pullman Gever, Esq., Defense Logistics
           Agency; and Laura Mann Eyester, Esq., and John W. Klein, Esq., Small Business
           Administration, for the agencies.
           Peter D. Verchinski, Esq., and Guy R. Pietrovito, Esq., Office of the General
           Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
           DIGEST

           1. Protester's contention that a solicitation for the award of multiple indefinite-
           delivery, indefinite-quantity contracts for commercial soft shelter systems is so vague
           and ambiguous as to prevent offerors from competing intelligently and on an equal
           basis is denied where the solicitation provided sufficient information and detail to
           allow offerors to seek award of a contract.

           2. A solicitation for the award of multiple indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity
           contracts for commercial soft shelter systems was not required to be set aside for
           small businesses where the agency reasonably determined that no small businesses
           could perform all of the requirements, and where the agency will set aside orders for
           small businesses when the agency has a reasonable expectation of receiving fair
           market price offers from two or more small businesses for the order requirements.
           DECISION

           SEK Solutions, LLC, of Virginia Beach, Virginia, protests the terms of request for
           proposals (RFP) No. SPM1 C1 -12-R-0031, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency
           (DLA) for commercial soft shelter systems. SEK protests that the RFP is vague and
           ambiguous and that the solicitation should have been set aside for small businesses.


We deny the protest.
