Under invitation for bids (IFB) set aside for small businesses, bidder that is found nonresponsible by contracting agency, but who is eligible for, and has applied for, a certificate of competency, remains in line for award until the Small Business Administration proceedings are resolved; accordingly, such a bidder is an interested party to protest cancellation of the IFB. 2. 3. Compelling reason exists to cancel IFB after bid opening where IFB restricted competition by incorrectly requiring contractor to perform 60 percent of the work with its own organization. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-285053/html/GAOREPORTS-B-285053.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-285053/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-285053.pdf GAO/B-285053 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-285053 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-285053; Hroma Corporation, B-285053, June 6, 2000;
