[Protest of Army Solicitation for Integrated Logistics Support Services]

A firm protested an Army solicitation for integrated logistics support services, contending that the Army: (1) should have set aside the entire procurement for small businesses; (2) failed to properly conduct the procurement as a partial small business set-aside; (3) should have resolicited two withdrawn set-asides on an unrestricted basis to include large businesses; (4) failed to notify unsuccessful offerers of the awardee's identity prior to award; (5) failed to conduct cost and price analyses of the proposals; and (6) unduly restricted competition. GAO held that the protester: (1) untimely filed after bid opening its protests concerning the nature of the procurement and specifications; (2) abandoned its agency-level protest regarding proposal cost and price analyses; (3) as a small business, was not sufficiently interested to challenge the resolicitation of the set-asides to include large businesses; and (4) was not prejudiced by the Army's failure to notify unsuccessful offerers, since it was not the next offerer in line for award. Accordingly, the protest was dismissed in part and denied in part.
