File: B-411206; B-411206.2 Date: April 21, 2015 Robert E. Korroch, Esq., William A. Wozniak, Esq., and Jordan E. Stanaway, Esq., Williams Mullen, for the protester. Dennis J.

DIGEST Protest alleging agency's prior award of contracts under Small Business Administration's (SBA) section 8(a) program precludes award of sole-source 8(a) contract for follow-on requirement to tribally-owned concern is dismissed where SBA's regulations permit such award, so long as agency is not removing procurement from an ongoing competition among 8(a) program participants in order to make award to tribally-owned concern--a circumstance not present here.
