When Size Matters, SBA Has Final Say
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 05.18.10
In DynaLantic Corp., GAO denied a protest based on an allegation that the awardee in a small business set-aside procurement proposed a flight training device simulator that did not comply with the nonmanufacturer rule because the awardee procured the simulators from another country. GAO explained that the protester had concurrently filed a size protest with SBA, which determined that the awardee did comply with the nonmanufacturer rule because it transformed the simulators from a COTS product to a specific product solicited, and that SBA's decision was binding on GAO because SBA has "conclusive authority" to determine the size status of offerors.
