Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States Decision Matter of: Betty Foster Roofing, LLC File: B-419573.2 Date: June 17, 2021 Betty Foster, Betty Foster Roofing, LLC, for the protester. Deborah K. Morrell, Esq., and Jennifer Smith, Esq., Department of Veterans Affairs, for the agency. Paula A. Williams, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging agency's decision to use two-phase design-build selection procedures is denied where the record does not demonstrate that the agency's action violates regulation or its exercise of discretion was unreasonable. 2. In a procurement conducted under two-phase design-build selection procedures, protest challenging various terms of the solicitation as unduly restrictive of competition is denied where agency articulated reasonable bases for the requirements. DECISION Betty Foster Roofing, LLC (BFR), a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) located in Mendon, Missouri, protests the corrective action taken in connection with request for proposals (RFP) No. 36C776-21-R-0023, which was issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), for a reroofing and resurfacing project at the Garland VA Medical Center (Garland VAMC) in Garland, Texas. BFR contends that the solicitation amendment issued as corrective action in response to BFR's prior protest was inadequate. The protester again objects to the agency's use of two-phase design-build selection procedures for this procurement and argues the amended solicitation still contains terms that are unduly restrictive of competition. We deny the protest.
