Summary

Nautical Engineering, Inc. (NEI) protests the terms of request for proposals (RFP) No. HSCG85-07-R-6253PM, issued by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Coast Guard, for maintenance and repair of Coast Guard cutters based in Alameda, California. NEI contends that the RFP violates the Small Business Act by improperly bundling two types of maintenance and repair services that were previously provided under separate smaller contracts. The protester also contends that the consolidation of these services violates the Competition in Contracting Act of 1984 (CICA).

We deny the protest.
