File:        B-417596.2; B-417596.3

Date:       September 23, 2019

Lynn A. Marshall, Esq., and Pamela J. Kennerly Ignatius, Esq., Department of the Army;
John W. Klein, Esq., and Meagan K. Guerzon, Esq., Small Business Administration, for

DIGEST

1. Protest challenging the agency's determination that bundling its requirements would
result in measurably substantial benefits through significant cost savings is denied
where the agency has reasonably calculated those benefits consistent with the Small
Business Act and relevant regulations.

2. Protest challenging that the agency failed to properly consider and document
whether small businesses could perform a substantially bundled contract as the prime
contractor through teaming is denied where the agency reasonably determined and
documented that a small business could not meet its requirements, but encouraged
teaming.
DECISION

InSap Services, Inc., a small business of Marlton, New Jersey, protests the terms of
request for task order proposals (RFTOP) No. UNAWRD-1 9-R-UNIF, issued by the
Department of the Army, Army Contracting Command (Army), for unified enterprise
resource planning capability support services. The protester contends that the agency
improperly bundled its requirements under the solicitation because the agency failed to
adequately justify its bundling decision.


We deny the protest.
