Contracting agency's determination not to set aside procurement for small business concerns was proper where, based on the procurement history for the solicited services, agency concluded that it could not reasonably expect to receive bids from at least two responsible small business concerns offering a fair market price.<p/>2. Solicitation requirement that contractor provide additional medical examiners in cases where a claimant must travel more than 50 miles to an appointment is not improper where requirement reflects the agency's legitimate needs, even though costing the requirement for proposal purposes may be difficult for offerors, resulting in significant contractor risk. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-276912/html/GAOREPORTS-B-276912.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-276912/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-276912.pdf GAO/B-276912 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-276912 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-276912; CardioMetrix, B-276912; B-276912.2, August 11, 1997;
