Highlights

Marine Hydraulics International, LLC, of Norfolk, Virginia, protests the terms of request for proposals (RFP) No. N5005422R6001 (the Delivery Order RFP), issued by the Department of the Navy, Naval Sea Systems Command, for complex repair and maintenance services on the U.S.S. Cole. Marine Hydraulics argues that the agency's decision to set aside the procurement for small businesses was improper because the agency could not set aside the delivery order under the terms of the multiple award indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract under which the delivery order will be issued. Alternatively, even if the agency had the discretion to set aside the order, the protester argues there was no reasonable basis to conclude that the agency would receive two or more offers from responsible small business concerns at fair and reasonable prices.

We deny the protest.
