Decision
Matter of: LOGMET LLC
File:     B-420507
Date:     May 6, 2022
Wayne Rankin, LOGMET LLC, for the protester.
Erika Whelan Retta, Esq., Isabelle P. Cutting, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the
agency.
Emily R. O'Hara, Esq., and Peter H. Tran, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,
participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST
1. Protest alleging agency improperly bundled requirements in violation of the Small
Business Act is denied where the record shows that the requirements do not meet the
definitional prerequisites of the bundling restrictions of the Act, i.e., the requirements
were not previously performed under two separate, smaller contracts.
2. Protest challenging terms of the solicitation as unduly restrictive of competition is
denied where the solicitation's requirements are reasonably necessary to meet the
agency's needs.
DECISION
LOGMET LLC, of Round Rock, Texas, challenges the terms of the solicitation under
request for proposals (RFP) No. FA4897-22-R-0001, issued by the Department of the
Air Force for flight operations training and F-15 aircraft maintenance to support the
Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) at Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho. The
protester argues that the agency improperly bundled two requirements and that several
solicitation provisions are unduly restrictive of competition.
We deny the protest.
BACKGROUND
The solicitation, issued on January 27, 2022, pursuant to the procedures of Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR) part 15, contemplates the award of a fixed-price contract
