When a Navy procurement threatened to unfairly eliminate competition through the misapplication of small business rules, Fluet successfully challenged the agency’s actions through strategic bid protests. This case study details how the firm navigated complex regulatory requirements, including the Nonmanufacturer Rule and Rule of Two, to expose and correct the Navy’s compounding errors in a small business set-aside procurement. The Government Accountability Office’s decision to sustain the protest not only secured the client’s right to compete but also established an important precedent for proper market research in small business set-asides. This victory demonstrates the value of persistence, regulatory expertise, and effective advocacy in government contracting protests.
