DIGEST

Protest that contracting agency improperly referred awardee to the Small Business
Administration for consideration under certificate of competency procedures is
dismissed where allegations do not fall within exceptions that allow for review by our
Office.
DECISION

Lawson Environmental Services LLC, a small business of Caledonia, Missouri, protests
the award of a contract to Eagle Eye - Enviroworks Joint Venture, a small business of
Anchorage, Alaska, under request for proposals (RFP) No. 68HE0718R0009, issued by
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for environmental remediation services at
the Big River Mine Tailings Site, Operable Unit 1, St. Francois County, Missouri.
Lawson argues that the EPA's decision to refer Eagle Eye to the Small Business
Administration (SBA) for a certificate of competency (COC) was in error.

We dismiss the protest.

BACKGROUND

The RFP was issued on April 25, 2018, as a small business set-aside, for the soil
remediation of residential properties located within the Big River Mine Tailings
