Protest Denial Decision Posted: OASIS+ Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) Set-Aside

Updated May 30, 2025

Strategic Alliance, Inc. (SAI), of El Segundo, California, protests the elimination of its proposal from the competition under request for proposals (RFP) No. 47QRCA23R0005, issued by the General Services Administration (GSA), for total integrated solutions for a multitude of services-based requirements. The protester contends that the agency unreasonably concluded that the protester was ineligible for award under the solicitation, which was set aside for women-owned small businesses (WOSBs), because at the time of proposal submission, the protester was not a certified WOSB and did not have a pending application for WOSB certification in the Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS). The protester also contends that the agency engaged in disparate treatment by failing to eliminate other proposals from the competition despite those offerors lacking the required WOSB status.

We deny the protest.
