Summary

Gloria Kortum, an employee of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and the designated employee agent for certain allegedly affected employees, protests that the VA is converting the performance of home oxygen services at the Nebraska/Western Iowa Health Care System in Grand Island, Nebraska to contractor performance without a competition. The protester objects that the VA intends to transition to contractor performance even though a cost comparison showed that performance by the affected employees would be more cost-effective.

We dismiss the protest.
