This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: SWR, Inc. File: B-294266 Date: October 6, 2004 Benjamin M. Bowden, Esq., Albrittons, Clifton, Alverson, Moody & Bowden, for the protester. Julius Rothlein, Esq., and A. Neil Stroud, Esq., U.S. Marine Corps, and Laura Mann Eyester, Esq., and John W. Klein, Esq., Small Business Administration, for the agencies. Paul E. Jordan, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging agency decision not to set aside procurement for Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) small businesses is sustained where decision was based on insufficient facts to establish reasonableness of conclusion that HUBZone business concerns of which the agency was aware were not interested in, and/or not capable of, performing the requirement. DECISION SWR, Inc. protests the terms of request for proposals (RFP) No. MOO 146-04-R-9024, issued by the U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) for the washing of various aircraft at three Marine Corps Air Stations (MCAS) in North and South Carolina. SWR asserts that the RFP, issued as a small business set-aside, instead should have been set aside for Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) small business concerns. We sustain the protest. BACKGROUND The RFP sought proposals for a fixed-price contract to provide authorized maintenance personnel to clean, wash, lubricate, and inspect aircraft at three USMC installations--three wash racks at MCAS Cherry Point for EA-6B, AV-8B, and KC-130 aircraft; two rotary-wing wash racks at MCAS New River for UH-1N, AH-1W, CH-53, and CH-46 aircraft; and two fixed-wing wash racks at MCAS Beaufort for F/A18
