Government Erred in Finding SDVOSB Ineligible for VA Set-asides Based on Right of First Refusal Clause in Shareholder Agreement; COFC No. 17-1015C Veterans Contracting Group, Inc.

Motion for preliminary injunction in pre-award protest is granted in part, where the Small Business Administration erroneously found the protester was not an eligible SDVOSB and therefore the Department of Veterans Affairs’ decision to decertify the protester for SDVOSB set-asides was improper, and where the protestor satisfied its burden of persuasion for injunctive relief.
