DIGEST Protest is dismissed where the matter involved is the subject of litigation before a court of competent jurisdiction. DECISION Blue Rose Consulting Group, Inc. (Blue Rose), a historically underutilized business zone (HUBZone) small business concern of Washington, D.C., protests the terms and conditions of the General Services Administration's (GSA) request for proposals (RFP) No. 47QTCB22R0006 for the HUBZone pool of the governmentwide acquisition contract (GWAC) called Polaris, to provide customized information technology (IT) services and services-based solutions. The protester contends that the solicitation's provision related to the consideration of subcontractor capabilities is unduly restrictive of competition. Protest at 2-4. We dismiss the protest because the matter involved is the subject of litigation before a court of competent jurisdiction. BACKGROUND The Polaris GWAC is a multiple-award, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract to provide customized IT services. RFP at 3. The Polaris acquisition is divided amongst the following four solicitation set-aside types, or pools: small businesses; woman- owned small businesses (WOSB); service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB); and HUBZone.
