Description
Summary:	Examines Washington-Harris Group, a protest filed with GAO alleging that an agency improperly awarded a "preference contract" to a service-disabled veteran-owned small business that proposed to subcontract a greater percentage of work on the contract than allowed under SBA limitations on subcontracting. Reviews GAO denial of the protest, in part, because it found that limitations on subcontracting apply only to contracts "set aside" for small business, not to preference contracts; and considers impact of ruling.
