OHA’s Jurisdiction to Consider Appeals of 8(a) Program Applications Not Absolute; SBA No. BDPE-576, Matter of GTEC Industries Inc.

Appeal of SBA’s denial of an application for admission into the 8(a) Business Development program is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, where the denial was based on the appellant’s failure to demonstrate its ability to successfully meet the program’s objectives, which is not one of the criteria appealable to OHA.
