Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to Decision a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: NOVAD Management Consulting, LLC File: B-419194.5 Date: July 1, 2021 Gunjan R. Talati, Esq., and Jamie C. Lipsitz, Esq., Kilpatrick, Townsend & Stockton, LLP, for the protester. Julie Cannatti, Esq., Julie Holvik, Esq., Jonathan English, Esq., and Justin Haselden, Esq., Department of Housing and Urban Development, for the agency. Michael Willems, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging solicitation requirement as unduly restrictive of competition is denied where the requirement is reasonably related to the agency's needs. 2. Protest of solicitation provision is dismissed as untimely piecemeal presentation of protest issues when the alleged problem with the provision was apparent from the face of the solicitation as initially issued, but the provision was not challenged before the date set for receipt of initial proposals. 3. Protest that terms of solicitation are inconsistent with agency regulations is dismissed because the regulations at issue are not procurement regulations, and the protester does not allege a violation of a procurement statute or regulation. DECISION NOVAD Management Consulting, LLC, of Landover, Maryland, protests the terms of solicitation No. 86614920R00007 issued by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for loan support and document management services. The protester alleges the solicitation is unduly restrictive of competition, ambiguous, impermissibly vague, and inconsistent with HUD's regulations. We deny the protest.
