Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States Decision Matter of: Interoperability Clearinghouse File: B-416001 Date: March 12, 2018 John J. O'Brien, Esq., David S. Cohen, Esq., Daniel Strouse, Esq., and William F. Savarino, Esq., Cohen Mohr LLP, for the protester. Antonio R. Franco, Esq., Julia Di Vito, Esq., Meghan F. Leemon, Esq., and Matthew E. Feinberg, Esq., PilieroMazza PLLC, for Eagle Harbor Solutions, LLC, the intervenor. Christina Austin, Esq., and Michael Anderson, Esq., Washington Headquarters Services, for the agency. Evan D. Wesser, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST A protester is not an interested party to challenge a sole source 8(a) award to an Alaska Native Corporation where the protester neither is an 8(a) concern nor challenges the propriety of the inclusion of the challenged contract under the 8(a) program. DECISION Interoperability Clearinghouse (IC), of Alexandria, Virginia, protests the award of a contract to Eagle Harbor Solutions, LLC, a small business, of Anchorage, Alaska, under solicitation No. HQ0034-18-R-0032, issued by the Department of Defense, Washington Headquarters Services, for support services for the Cloud Executive Steering Group. The protester primarily asserts that the awardee has an impermissible organizational conflict of interest (OCI) that renders it ineligible for award. We dismiss the protest because the protester, a not-for-profit entity, is not an interested party to challenge this sole-source award to an Alaska Native Corporation under the Small Business Administration's (SBA) 8(a) program.1 1 The SBA formally accepted the requirement into the 8(a) program on December 14, 2017. See Agency Supp. Br., exh. No. 1, SBA Acceptance Letter.
