Area Office Did Not Consider Whether Awardee Was in Violation of Ostensible Subcontractor Rule; SBA No. SIZ-5835, Size Appeal of The Frontline Group

Appeal of the area office’s determination that the awardee was small for the procurement as issue is granted and the matter remanded, where the area office did not have sufficient evidence to conclude that the awardee and its subcontractor were not in violation of the ostensible subcontractor rule, or whether the firms were similarly situated and therefore are exempt from the rule.
