Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States Decision Matter of: Land Shark Shredding, LLC File: B-415785 Date: March 6, 2018 Christine M. Parry, Esq., and Daniel C. McAuliffe, Esq., Whitcomb, Selinsky, McAuliffe, PC, for the protester. Donald C. Mobly, Esq., and Natica Chapman Neely, Esq., Department of Veterans Affairs, for the agency. Young H. Cho, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging solicitation requirements as unduly restrictive is denied where the record supports the agency's position that the requirement is reasonably necessary to meet the agency's needs. DECISION Land Shark Shredding, LLC, of Bowling Green, Kentucky, challenges the terms of request for proposals (RFP) No. 36C24718R0021, issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for on-site document, hard drive, and electronic media destruction services. Land Shark Shredding argues that the solicitation is unduly restrictive of competition. We deny the protest in part and dismiss it in part. BACKGROUND The solicitation, set-aside for service-disabled veteran-owned small business concerns, was issued on November 24, 2017, under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) part 12, and contemplated the award of a single fixed-price contract for one 1-year base period and four 1-year options. RFP at 1, 19, 96. As relevant here, under the statement of work (SOW) the contractor was to provide all labor, supervision, secure collection containers, equipment, and transportation necessary to perform on-site document destruction and disposal of confidential documents at the Charlie Norwood VA Medical Center (CNVAMC), its satellite community based outpatient clinics, and other offices
