Agency properly imposed bond requirement in solicitation for the design, fabrication, and installation of exhibits, despite the fact that it may restrict competition, where agency reasonably determined that bonds were necessary to ensure timely completion of project and to protect the government from losses that would result from contractor default. 2. Agency's determination not to set aside procurement for small businesses was proper where agency reasonably concluded--based on market surveys and concurrence of the Small Business Administration--that it could not expect to receive proposals from at least two responsible small business offerors at fair market prices. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-292380/html/GAOREPORTS-B-292380.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-292380/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-292380.pdf GAO/B-292380 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-292380 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-292380; American Artisan Productions, Inc., B-292380, July 30, 2003;
