David G. Fagan, Esq., Department of Veterans Affairs, for the agency. Cherie J. Owen, Esq., and David A. Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging an agency's decision not to set aside a procurement for service- disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSBs) is denied where the agency reasonably concluded from its market research that it did not have a reasonable expectation of receiving proposals from two or more SDVOSBs capable of performing the required services at a fair and reasonable price. DECISION In and Out Valet Company (IOVC), of Irwin, Pennsylvania protests the terms of Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) request for quotations (RFQ) No. VA260-15- Q-0049, for valet parking services for the VA Puget Sound Health Care System in Seattle, Washington. The protester, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) concern, asserts that the VA should have set the procurement aside for SDVOSBs. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND The RFQ, issued on January 7, 2015, and set aside for small businesses, seeks proposals to provide fast, efficient, and professional valet parking services to alleviate the congestion and delays in the limited parking areas for the VA Puget Sound Health Care System facilities in Seattle. The successful contractor is to furnish all necessary labor, supervision, materials, equipment, services, and supplies needed to perform valet parking services for approximately 650 to 750 vehicles per day. RFQ at 7, 9.
