Highlights

A company requested reconsideration of a decision denying its protest against two small business set-asides. Several points raised in the request merely restated original arguments without demonstrating errors of fact or law. An argument that a "should cost" range for an item was arbitrary lacked merit since the range was based on a prior procurement price with an adjustment for additional cost due to a specification change. An argument that an economic risk assumed by small business contractors was applicable to the protester was not persuasive since the protester's bid was nonresponsive and not required to be considered.
