DIGEST Protest challenging agency's award of a sole-source contract using simplified acquisition procedures is denied where the record shows that the agency reasonably determined that there was only one source immediately available to meet the agency's urgent requirements for experimentation support services.

The protester contends that there was no unusual and compelling urgency to justify the award to Ad Hoc. The protester further contends that the agency should have conducted a limited competition for its immediate requirements. We deny the protest.
