If the head of a contracting agency determines that a proposed procurement strategy for a procurement involves a substantial bundling of contract requirements, the proposed procurement strategy shall—
(A) identify specifically the benefits anticipated to be derived from the bundling of contract requirements;
(B) set forth an assessment of the specific impediments to participation by small business concerns as prime contractors that result from the bundling of contract requirements and specify actions designed to maximize small business participation as subcontractors (including suppliers) at various tiers under the contract or contracts that are awarded to meet the requirements; and
(C) include a specific determination that the anticipated benefits of the proposed bundled contract justify its use.
In the case of a solicitation of offers for a bundled contract that is issued by the head of an agency, a small-business concern may submit an offer that provides for use of a particular team of subcontractors for the performance of the contract. The head of the agency shall evaluate the offer in the same manner as other offers, with due consideration to the capabilities of all of the proposed subcontractors. If a small business concern teams under this paragraph, it shall not affect its status as a small business concern for any other purpose.

(C) the percentage of the budget of the Director used for travel in the most recently completed fiscal year.
(3) Appeals.—A procurement center representative is authorized to appeal the failure to act favorably on any recommendation made pursuant to paragraph (2).
