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: Analytica LLC File: B-422681.3; B-422681.4 Date: November 26, 2024 Jonathan T. Williams, Esq., Isaias Alba, IV, Esq., Katherine B. Burrows, Esq., Meghan F. Leemon, Esq., and Aaron A. Kor, Esq., Piliero Mazza, PLLC, for the protester. Daniel Strouse, Esq., and Pablo Nichols, Esq., Cordatis LLP, for Amaze Technologies, LLC; and Carla Weiss, Esq., Logan Kemp, Esq., and Annie Hudgins, Esq., Nichols Liu, LLP, for Anika Systems, Inc., the intervenors. Richard W. Postma, Jr., Esq., Department of Homeland Security; and Mark R. Hagedorn, Esq., and Tanner M. Hatch, Esq., Small Business Administration, for the agencies. Kenneth Kilgour, Esq., and Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that the agency unreasonably found the protester ineligible for award for failure to hold the required Small Business Administration (SBA) 8(a) contract is denied; the protester was acquiring the contract from another firm, and the record demonstrates that, because the SBA had not waived the required termination of that contract or authorized the novation without the waiver, the contracting officer reasonably concluded that the protester was not an eligible contract holder as required by the solicitation. DECISION Analytica LLC, of Bethesda, Maryland, protests the decision to eliminate Analytica from award consideration under request for proposals (RFP) No. 70SBUR24R00000009, issued by the Department of Homeland Security to provide support services to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Office of the Chief Data Officer. Analytica contends that USCIS unreasonably found the protester ineligible for award. We deny the protest.
