Protester is not an interested party to complain of the agency's failure to issue solicitation for medical waste removal services as a small business set-aside where another small business is in line for award.<p/>2. Requirement that contractor performing medical waste removal scan materials to detect radioactive material and return containers with such material to medical facility under certain circumstances is not objectionable based on agency's explanation, uncontested by protester, that requirement is intended as an added precaution to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements regarding radioactive materials, not as a substitute for medical and treatment facilities' responsibilities in dealing with hazardous waste; scanners used for detection are available, contrary to protester's assertion; and possibility that contractor will have to transport an unknown number of containers with radioactive material from treatment facilities to medical facilities, and thus will have to factor some cost into its price for hiring licensed hauler of radioactive waste, does not impose undue risk on offerors. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-279602/html/GAOREPORTS-B-279602.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-279602/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-279602.pdf GAO/B-279602 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-279602 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-279602; Thermal Combustion Innovators, Inc., B-279602, July 1, 1998;
