1. Procuring agency's decision to combine engineering support services for various electrical and avionics systems primarily on the C-130 and the C-141 aircraft is reasonable where agency has shown that the combination represents its minimum needs to obtain necessary systems integration. <p/>2. Protest that procurement for various engineering support services should have been set aside for exclusive small business participation is denied where the record shows that the contracting officer did not abuse his discretion in determining that there was not a reasonable expectation of receiving proposals from at least two responsible small business offerors. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-274694-2/html/GAOREPORTS-B-274694-2.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-274694-2/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-274694-2.pdf GAO/B-274694.2 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-274694-2 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-274694.2; Phoenix Technical Services Corporation, B-274694.2, March 12,; Title 10 Section 2305(a)(1) 10 U.S.C. 2305(a)(1) Title 15 Section 637(a) 15 U.S.C. 637(a)
