Procuring Agency Is Not Required to Make a Small Business Set-Aside Determination Before a Commercial Availability Determination, and Vice Versa; COFC No. 16-1453C, Analytical Graphics, Inc. v. United States

Protest challenging the agency’s decision to procure non-commercial items through a small business set-aside is denied where the agency reasonably determined (1) that at least two small businesses were capable of submitting bids at fair market price, and (2) that the government’s needs could not be met solely through commercially available items.
