DIGEST

Protest that agency failed to set aside solicitation for pharmacy courier services for
service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB) is denied where agency
reasonably determined that it was unlikely to receive quotations from two or more
SDVOSBs and that award could be made at a fair and reasonable price.
DECISION

Crosstown Courier Service, Inc., of Springfield, Massachusetts, a small business,
protests the terms of request for quotations (RFQ) No. 36C24918Q0161, issued by the
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for commercial pharmacy courier services for
veterans served by the Lexington VA Medical Center (VAMC), Cooper Division and
Leestown Division, in Kentucky. Crosstown argues that the contracting officer
improperly failed to set aside the RFQ for award to service-disabled veteran-owned
small businesses (SDVOSB), and instead designated the RFQ as a small business set-
aside.


We deny the protest.
