1. Objections to terms of revised license agreement for electronic data interchange value added network (VAN) services for the Federal Acquisition Computer Network on the basis that they impose too much risk on VAN providers are without legal merit as the government may impose substantial risk on its contractors.<p/>2. Revised license agreement for electronic data interchange value added network services for the Federal Acquisition Computer Network need not be set aside for exclusive small business participation, even though there are numerous small businesses that can provide these services, because the regulatory set-aside requirements do not apply to contractual arrangements, such as the license agreement, that do not involve the expenditure of appropriated funds. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-274388/html/GAOREPORTS-B-274388.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-274388/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-274388.pdf GAO/B-274388 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-274388 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-274388; Simplix; Title 15 Section 644(a) 15 U.S.C. 644(a) Title 31 Section 3551-3556 31 U.S.C. 3551-3556 Volume 110 Page 186 110 Stat. 186 Public Law 104-106
