Summary

FlowSense, LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB), protests the proposed sole-source award of a contract to Tarraf Construction, Inc. under solicitation No. VA-263-08-RP-0025, a section 8(a) set-aside issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for boiler replacement at the VA Medical Center (VAMC) in St. Cloud, Minnesota. FlowSense asserts that VA improperly set the contract aside for an 8(a) sole-source award rather than make award to FlowSense as an SDVOSB.

We deny the protest.
