[Protest of Army Solicitation for Training Courses]

A firm protested an Army solicitation for training courses, contending that the: (1) solicitation's accreditation requirement restricted competition and overstated the Army's minimum needs; and (2) solicitation should have been set aside for small businesses. GAO held that the: (1) Army reasonably determined that the accreditation requirement was necessary to ensure program quality and reflected its minimum needs; and (2) protester was not sufficiently interested to protest the Army's decision not to set aside the procurement. Accordingly, the protest was denied.
