DIGEST

1. Protest that procurement should be set aside for service-disabled veteran-owned
small businesses is denied where agency's market research established that there
are not two small businesses that manufacture the products sought.

2. Protest that agency improperly bundled requirements is denied where protester
has not shown that it was precluded from competing for the requirements or that the
requirements are unsuitable for award to small businesses.

3. Protest that solicitation is unduly restrictive is denied where protester has not
identified any solicitation provision that overstates the agency's needs and has
affirmatively represented that it can perform all of the solicitation requirements.

4. Protest that potential offerors have organizational conflicts of interest is
premature where no source selection decision has been made.
DECISION

Manus Medical LLC, of Richmond, Virginia, protests the terms of request for
proposal (RFP) No. VA240C-1 5-R-0022, issued by the Department of Veterans
