Preference Pecking Order
The VA noticed intent to sole source "switchboard services" under the AbilityOne program to the Central Association for the Blind under the Javits-Wagner-O'Day (JWOD) Act. Protestor claimed that this violated the Veterans First Contracting Program's Rule of Two for SDVOSBs or VOSBs. GAO explained that the Department of Veterans Affairs Contracting Preference Consistency Act addresses the conflict and JWOD has priority. Protest denied.
