This redacted version has been approved for public release. D e c is io n------------------------------------------------------------ Matter of: Suntek Systems, Inc. File: B-412265 Date: December 22, 2015 Christopher R. Shiplett, Esq., Nishat Azam, Esq., and Danielle Natasha Hart, Esq., Randolph Law, PLLC, for the protester. Scott N. Flesch, Esq., and CPT Harry M. Parent, Department of the Army, and Sam Q. Le, Esq., Small Business Administration, for the agencies. Heather Weiner, Esq., and Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that the Small Business Administration (SBA) improperly accepted a requirement into the 8(a) program without first determining whether doing so would have an adverse impact on existing small business concerns is dismissed as untimely where the record shows that the protester knew or should have known of the factual basis for this allegation more than 10 days prior to raising it. DECISION Suntek Systems, Inc., of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, a small business, protests the decision of the Department of the Army, Mission and Installation Contracting Command Center, Fort Bragg, and the Small Business Administration (SBA) to place a requirement for advanced civil information management training under the SBA's section 8(a) business development program through the issuance of request for proposals (RFP) No. W91247-15-R-0056. Suntek argues that the SBA improperly accepted this requirement into the 8(a) program without first determining whether acceptance would adversely impact small businesses, such as the protester. We dismiss the protest. BACKGROUND On August 31, 2015, the Army offered its requirement for advanced civil information management training to the SBA for award through SBA's 8(a) program. Agency
