1. General Services Administration reasonably determined that protester's building was outside "central business area" (CBA) of city of Atlanta, and thus was not entitled to consideration for lease under terms of Executive Order 12072, where it reasonably based CBA boundaries on information from city, and subsequently made independent determination that protester's building was neither in "centralized community business area," nor in "adjacent area of similar character," the two areas that comprise CBA.<p/>2. Since CBA, by definition, is comprised of centralized community business area and similar adjacent areas, agency's independent determination that protester's building was not in adjacent area of similar character, and thus was outside CBA, properly was based on comparison of location of protester's building to centralized community business area rather than to entire CBA. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-281185/html/GAOREPORTS-B-281185.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-281185/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-281185.pdf GAO/B-281185 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-281185 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-281185; Peachtree 25th LLC d/b/a/ American Management Company, B-; Title 40 Section 490 40 U.S.C. 490
