Which of the following is NOT one of the protest venues?

The Small Business Administration is not considered a protest venue in the context of contracting disputes. Instead, the primary venues for filing protests regarding government contract awards are the agency involved in the procurement, the Government Accountability Office (GAO), and the U.S. Court of Federal Claims.

When a potential bidder believes they have been treated unfairly in the competitive bidding process, they can file a protest with the agency that issued the contract, the GAO, or the Court of Federal Claims, depending on the circumstances. Each of these venues has its own rules, procedures, and timelines for handling protests.

The Small Business Administration primarily deals with programs that support small businesses, such as ensuring proper access to federal contracting opportunities or offering counsel to small businesses on compliance and other issues but does not have a mechanism for resolving contract disputes as a protest venue.
