The highest ratings — and therefore the biggest lies — on the Fox “News” Channel belong to that of Bill O’Reilly, easily lampooned by Stephen Colbert before he went legit as a talk-show host. Soon someone is going to have to lampoon Jesse Watters: Bill O’Reilly’s lamentable cable-news legacy.
On Tuesday Friday Fox Follies published Jesse Watters, Fisticuffs and Fox Fibs, so there’s no need to rehash that here.
However, Taken Out of Context by Jesse Watters, Bill O’Reilly and the Fox News Ministry of Truth — The False Narrative of Out-of-Control Kids is well worth covering in detail. Educator Larry Strauss was contacted by Watters for a piece on school violence because his book Students First and Other Lies came up in a search. I’ll let him tell his own story:
I warned Watters that if he and O’Reilly intended to advance the tired thesis that kids are running amok in our schools I was the wrong person to interview. If they wished to attack those who are promoting restorative justice — an attempt to stop criminalizing student misbehavior — that I would be their adversary.
[…] I warned Watters that I would say these things and he said that was great. He had no preconceived notions. He just wanted viewers to get some insight into what is going on in our schools around the country.
My wife warned me — don’t believe them, she said. She told me I was being used.
[…] Almost nothing I said did make it into the five minute segment that aired a few nights later:
[…] But my wife was right. I was used. My words became part of the false narrative that inner-city kids are out of control and we need the police in the schools to root out the problem. Probably not a coincidence that all the offending students in the videos they showed were African American. One wonders if the real agenda wasn’t some refutation to the assertion that “Black Lives Matter.”
By the time O’Reilly furrowed his brow and offered up his assessment, he seemed perfectly reasonable calling for the police to storm our classrooms.
You really need to read the whole article and then watch the segment that came out of it:
It’s just more proof of Watters smarmy mendacity. This is no more obvious than in his Watters’ World Man on the Street comedy segments. They are all slanted to make fun of the Left, cities O’Reilly has a mad-on for, and/or Democratic candidates. Clearly running out of men or women, watch the Kids Election Edition:
Speaking of Loofahs: I’ve been calling him a racist in print for years and I think it’s finally getting to him because O’Reilly Complains That The Terms “Sexism And Racism … [Are] Being Used To Punish” Bigots as Bill O’Reilly Takes On San Francisco And Our Liberal Attitudes Toward Property Crime, because he’s looking out for us.
This next video needs to be watched on a meta level. It’s O’Reilly On The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, no longer pretending to be a clueless O’Reilly clone, a case of art imitating life. But, it’s never mentioned. It’s like waking up from a dream where that whole thing never happened because Bobby Ewing was in the shower:
Bill O’Reilly Enters The No Chill Zone
HATE CLUB: The first rule of Hate Club is to talk about Hate Club — as often as possible — so these cockroaches have no place to hide. That’s why on occasion FFF writes about comment threads at Fox Nation that turn into the ugliest racist sewers this side of Stormfront. This week the Fox “News” audience truly distinguished itself:

After Avalanche of Racism
This was going on long before Donald Trump decided to run for POTUS. Where do you think they get the idea that this is welcome?
Meanwhile, as this week’s column is being compiled Fox and Friends piled on the Islamophobia:
Fox Hosts: Somali-Muslim
Community In Minnesota
“Considered By Some As …
Ground Zero For ISIS
Recruitment” In The US
Ah, yes, the old “some people say” thing. Fox’s favorite thing.
FOX EXPERT CONVICTED: When the history is finally written Fox News ‘Benghazi Expert’ Wayne Simmons Pleads Guilty to Defrauding Government will forever be a(nother) black mark against the purported news channel. You barely heard about it at Fox after Wayne Simmons, Right Wing Media’s Benghazi Expert, Pleads Guilty To Fraud:
In an April 29 press release the Department of Justice noted that Simmons “falsely claimed he spent 27 years working for the Central Intelligence Agency” and had pleaded guilty “to major fraud against the government, wire fraud, and a firearms offense.”
[…] Dana J. Boente, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, said, “Simmons admitted he attempted to con his way into a position where he would have been called on to give real intelligence advice in a war zone. His fraud cost the government money, could have put American lives at risk, and was an insult to the real men and women of the intelligence community who provide tireless service to this country.”
Simmons was a frequent guest on Fox News, appearing on the network dozens of times purporting to be a former CIA operative. In those appearances, Simmons regularly criticized Democrats on foreign policy and national security issues. In one instance, he said, “If the Democrats come into power in the United States and re-employ their vision of defense for this country, we will have 9-1-1s unabated.”
Because he was saying what Fox wanted its audience to hear, no one ever bothered looking at his credentials.
THE NERD PROM: It was amusing to see how Fox News Wasted No Time Attacking Larry Wilmore And President Obama At WHCA Dinner, maybe because Larry Wilmore Drops A Truth Bomb On Fox News Racism At White House Correspondents Dinner:
Wilmore took the podium and delivered the [sic] a fantastic joke, “Welcome to Negro night here at Washington, or as Fox News would report two thugs disrupt elegant dinner in DC. That’s how they do it.”
Wilmore’s joke was awesome because, like all good humor, it contained an element of truth. In the case of this joke, it was the total truth. Fox News has been fanning the flames of racism since before President Obama became the Democratic nominee in 2008. Fox has been a willing partner in the Republican plot to win elections by dividing the country along racial lines.
The joke was met with some uncomfortable mumbles and squirms in the press audience because most people who won’t work in the mainstream press won’t admit the ugly bias of Fox News.
Oddly enough, that’s not what got the personalities at the White Privilege Station really hyperventilating:
White Fox Host Attacks

AVUNCULAR A-HOLE: One of my least favorite personalities on Fox is one of the least known. Peter Johnson, Jr., pops up on Fox & Friends to read editorials off the TelePrompTer
from time to time most days. “Some people say” that, as Rogers Ailes lawyer, Junior is channeling Ailes’ thoughts in his OpEds. Whether that’s true, or not, some of them are ugly to the core. F’rinstance:

TRUMP: No, I can handle the low road if I have to do it. I mean, we’ve had some low roads over the last few months.
TRUMP: I’m fine with it if we have to go that direction. Maybe you haven’t noticed.
O’REILLY: You know what? I hope you don’t have to go it. I would like to see you and Mrs. Clinton in a spirited campaign about issues without the low road. I know the media likes it. I know they like all that stuff but I don’t. I would like to see you, you know, you guys just fight it out over issues.

“You’re right,” Doocy said, “in that one case.” He then turned Schlapp and asked, “Am I off-base on this stuff?”

Trump had mentioned on “Fox and Friends” earlier Tuesday a National Enquirer story that claimed Cruz’s father was with Oswald before the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Levin said the hosts of the program failed to challenge Trump’s claim.
“Several of the people on ‘The Five’ thought this was hilarious,” Levin continued. “As a matter of fact, they were defending the National Enquirer. … That’s why it’s not the Fox News Channel, it’s the Fox Channel, and the Donald Trump super-PAC.”
“We’re going to get our asses kicked in the general election, ladies and gentlemen. That’s the trajectory. Maybe it’ll change, but likely, it will not,” Levin said, adding that Trump is “limping” across the finish line to the nomination.
“They may be laughing today, but they’re going to be rubbing their own faces in their own feces. I’ll tell you that after the general election, because they have humiliated themselves.”

Fox’s Attempt To Smear
However, the Poster Boy for CREDIT WHERE CREDIT’S DUE has to be Charles Krauthammer. While he appears on several Fox shows, it’s his appearances on O’Reilly’s Hate Fest where he really shines. Without coming out and saying “You’re wrong” to his face, he subtly tells O’Reilly he’s wrong about something in just about every appearance:
Do You Want Trump
To Have Nuclear Codes?
Charles Krauthammer Undecided
If He’d Vote For Donald Trump
Charles Krauthammer (again)
exposes Bill O’Reilly’s bankrupt
apologism for Donald Trump:
Essential context for that chat is O’Reilly’s status as a longtime, vanilla-milkshake-sharing friend of Donald Trump. No dummy, O’Reilly surely recognizes that Krauthammer schools him on this topic. Back in March, after some other Trump outrage, O’Reilly defended the candidate on similar terms, saying that he gets “emotional” and doesn’t always process his thoughts too well. O’Reilly’s suggestion then that Trump “readjust” his rhetoric triggered a repudiation from Krauthammer, who called it “weaselly.”
These pointed-but-highly-civil disagreements make for good television, as Krauthammer articulates as strong a case against Trump as cable news can provide. Accordingly, O’Reilly deserves plaudits for hazarding these pro-Trump arguments in Krauthammer’s presence. With Trump’s ascent as the presumptive GOP nominee, there should be more of these moments down the road.
That’s good news for those who think O’Reilly is the hardest of blowhards.

Coast to Coast Computer Products, Inc. (CTC), a small business of Simi Valley, California, protests the terms of request for quotations (RFQ) No. 47QTCA-19-Q-0009, issued by the General Services Administration (GSA) for the establishment of multiple-award blanket purchase agreements (BPAs) for information technology (IT) equipment, software, and ancillary supplies and services. The protester argues that the solicitation improperly consolidates numerous existing contracts for IT supplies and services, and that the agency failed to comply with a statutory requirement to consider the consolidation's potential economic effect on small businesses. In addition, CTC alleges that certain terms of the solicitation are overly restrictive.
Matter of: Coast to Coast Computer Products, Inc.
File: B-417500; B-417500.2
Date: July 29, 2019
Rick Vogel for the protester.
Jaron Chriss, Esq., and Lindsay Collins, Esq., General Services Administration; and John W. Klein, Esq., and Sam Q. Le, Esq., Small Business Administration, for the agency.
Kasia Dourney, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
1. Protest that an agency, in a solicitation for the establishment of multiple blanket purchase agreements, has failed to meet the consolidation analysis requirements of the Small Business Jobs Act (SBJA) is denied where the plain language of the SBJA does not support the protester’s assertion that such analysis was required.
2. Protest that an agency abused its discretion when it decided not to set a blanket purchase agreement solicitation aside for small businesses is denied where the agency’s decision was reasonable.
3. Supplemental protest challenging the terms of the solicitation is dismissed as untimely where the alleged solicitation improprieties were apparent from the solicitation but were not protested prior to the closing time for submitting quotations.
Coast to Coast Computer Products, Inc. (CTC), a small business of Simi Valley, California, protests the terms of request for quotations (RFQ) No. 47QTCA-19-Q-0009, issued by the General Services Administration (GSA) for the establishment of multiple-award blanket purchase agreements (BPAs) for information technology (IT) equipment, software, and ancillary supplies and services. The protester argues that the solicitation improperly consolidates numerous existing contracts for IT supplies and services, and that the agency failed to comply with a statutory requirement to consider the consolidation’s potential economic effect on small businesses. In addition, CTC alleges that certain terms of the solicitation are overly restrictive.
We dismiss the protest in part and deny it in part.
GSA issued the solicitation on March 4, 2019, seeking quotations to provide IT equipment, software, and ancillary supplies and services. AR, Tab 28A, RFQ, at 1, 3. The RFQ was issued under the GSA’s Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) utilizing Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 8.4 procedures, and was limited to vendors holding contracts under schedule No. 70, special item Nos. 132-8,132-12, 132-32, 132-33, and 132-34. Id. at 3. The RFQ contemplated the establishment of nine fixed-price multiple-award BPAs, which GSA has named “second generation information technology” (2GIT) BPAs, to supply a “total solution” for IT equipment, software, and ancillary supplies and services. Id. at 6-8. The value of purchases under the 5-year BPAs was estimated to be $5.5 billion. Id. at 17. The proposed “total solution” was intended to provide a “one-stop-shop in the Information Technology market to meet the needs of the Air Force, Department of Defense (DOD) agencies, and other federal, state, local, regional, and tribal governments.” Id. at 7.
As of the date the RFQ was issued, only the Department of the Air Force has designated the 2GIT BPAs as the mandatory acquisition vehicle for all its IT products; the 2GIT BPAs were to replace the Air Force’s Network-Centric Solutions-2 (NETCENTS-2) indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract, previously utilized by the Air Force for its IT product needs. RFQ at 6. However, the 2GIT BPAs are expected to also be made available to other federal, state, local and tribal entities. COS ¶ 4. At the same time, the establishment of 2GIT BPAs “does not negate the remaining schedule 70 contract holders’ schedule contracts”; importantly, both “small and large business[es] will continue to have the ability to obtain Schedule 70 contracts and compete for orders as they currently do. Government agencies may solicit their requirements as they have previously done prior to the 2GIT BPAs.” COS ¶ 36.
Prior to issuing the solicitation, GSA conducted market research, and concluded that the agency was not likely to receive quotations from two or more small businesses that could “provide a total solution for all four CLINS (contract line item numbers).” AR, Tab 12B, Market Research Report, at 12. Accordingly, the acquisition was not set-aside for small business, but, rather, encouraged small business participation by including “small business subcontracting goals” as an evaluation factor. RFQ at 50. The RFQ also provided that small business set-asides were allowed at the order level, at the discretion of the ordering office. Id. at 3. Moreover, recognizing that it would be difficult for one vendor--small or large--to satisfy all of the 2GIT requirements, the RFQ included a contractor teaming arrangement match-making form, to allow small businesses to seek out teaming partners, in order to satisfy the agency’s “total solution” approach. RFQ at 21.
Prior to the RFQ’s closing date of May 6, CTC filed this protest with our Office on April 22. CTC did not submit a quotation in response to the RFQ, either by itself or as part of a CTA. COS ¶ 5.
In its protest, CTC advances numerous arguments, essentially alleging that the solicitation’s terms negatively impact small businesses; the RFQ improperly consolidates numerous existing contracts for IT supplies and services; and that the agency failed to conduct a small business impact analysis before the consolidation of its contract requirements, as required under the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010. Protest at 3. Additionally, the protester claims that the agency should have set the requirement aside for small business concerns. Id. at 5. In its supplemental protest, CTC also asserts that the RFQ violates FAR subpart 8.4 requirements for the establishment of a BPA. In addition, the Small Business Administration (SBA) echoes the protester’s arguments, stating that the BPA improperly consolidates orders for which many schedule 70 contract holders would be able to compete, and that the proposed strategy “subverts congressionally mandated competition by setting aside $5.5 billion in IT orders for nine other-than-small business[es] and teams that receive spots on the BPA.” SBA’s Comments at 2. As discussed below, we disagree. We also dismiss the supplemental protest as untimely.
Consolidation Analysis Requirement under the Small Business Jobs Act
The protester complains that the agency failed to comply with the provisions of the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 that require agencies to consider the effect on small businesses of the consolidation of an agency’s contract requirements for over $2 million. 15 U.S.C. § 657q; Pub. L. No. 111–240, 124 Stat. 2538 (Sept. 27, 2010). These provisions, in relevant part, provide as follows:
The head of a Federal agency may not carry out an acquisition strategy that includes a consolidation of contract requirements of the Federal agency with a total value of more than $2,000,000, unless the senior procurement executive or Chief Acquisition Officer [satisfies certain requirements] before carrying out theacquisition strategy . . . .
15 U.S.C. § 657q(c)(1) (emphasis added).
Section 657q also defines the consolidation of contract requirements as the “use of a solicitation to obtain offers for a single contract or a multiple award contract . . . to satisfy 2 or more requirements of the Federal agency for goods or services that have been provided to or performed for the Federal agency under 2 or more separate contracts lower in cost than the total cost of the contract for which the offers are solicited . . . .” Id. § 657q(a)(2).
GSA did not conduct a consolidation analysis of its proposed 2GIT BPAs prior to issuing the RFQ. The agency’s primary response to the protester’s challenge is that a consolidation analysis was not required because the BPAs are not contracts; hence, the requirements of the Small Business Jobs Act do not apply here, to the establishment of BPAs. Memorandum of Law (MOL) at 6-8. In support, GSA relies on a final rule issued by the Department of Defense, GSA, and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), amending the FAR provisions to institute a government-wide policy on consolidation and bundling. 81 Fed. Reg. 67763 (Sept. 30, 2016). In the preamble, that final rule includes a discussion of BPAs, and clarifies that the statutory definition of “bundling of contract requirements” at 15 U.S.C. § 632(o), and of “consolidation of contract requirements” at 15 U.S.C. § 657q, as well as SBA’s implementing regulations at 13 C.F.R. § 125.1(c) refer only to “contracts” when addressing bundling and consolidation, and BPAs are not contracts. Id. at 67765. Accordingly, neither the statute nor the implementing regulations apply the requirement for a consolidation and bundling analysis to BPAs. Id. In a discussion of BPAs, that final rule further provides that orders under the BPAs are treated as contracts in SBA’s implementing regulations at 13 C.F.R. § 125.1(c). Id. In that context, the agency explains that orders against a BPA that meet the definition of consolidation may require a consolidation analysis. COS ¶ 34a; AR, Tab 50, GSA Consolidation and Bundling Frequently Asked Questions, at 2. Specifically, according to the contracting officer, if a single order over $2 million is replacing two or more previous contracts, “the order will require a written determination for approval by the GSA Senior Procurement Executive . . . .” Id.
The SBA disagrees and argues that there is a consolidation here “because the eventual orders issued off the BPA will be limited to competition among the nine BPA awardees,” and the term “contract” in the consolidation definition “applies here to the IT70 contracts affected by the BPA.” SBA’s Comments at 2. Based on our review of the record, we do not view SBA’s interpretation as supported by the applicable authority.
Specifically, we note that the final rule cited above was issued after the SBA promulgated its regulations implementing the requirements of the Small Business Jobs Act on October 2, 2013, and revising the SBA’s regulations on contract consolidation and bundling. See 78 Fed. Reg. 61114 (Oct. 2, 2013). The final rule issued by DOD, GSA and NASA incorporated the regulatory changes made by the SBA. The SBA’s own regulations, at 13 C.F.R. § 125.1, provide that “contract” “has the same definition as set forth in FAR § 2.101” and “includes orders issued against Multiple Award Contracts and orders competed under agreements where the execution of the order is the contract (e.g., a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA), a Basic Agreement (BA), or a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA)).” 13 C.F.R. § 125.1 (emphasis added). Accordingly, task orders issued under the BPA are contracts, but BPAs are not.
Previously, our Office addressed the consolidation analysis requirements under the Small Business Jobs Act with respect to the IDIQ contracts (see American Toner & Ink, et al., B-409528.7 et al., June 9, 2014, 2014 CPD ¶ 161 at 4-5 (protest of an award of IDIQ contracts for GSA's Office Supplies Third Generation program denied where the agency reasonably considered the potential impact of its procurement approach on small businesses, and reasonably concluded that the consolidation would result in substantial benefits to the government)) and tasks orders under IDIQ contracts (PB&A, Inc.; Envtl. Synectics, Inc.--Costs, B-410074.3, B-410074.4, Sept. 15, 2015, 2015 CPD ¶ 285 at 5 (request for reimbursement of protest costs granted in part where the agency took corrective action after being advised by GAO at an alternative dispute resolution conference that the protest would be sustained based on the agency’s failure to conduct a consolidation analysis of its proposed contract requirements)) but not with regard to the establishment of BPAs. Our review of applicable statutory and regulatory authority reveals that a consolidation analysis is not required prior to establishment of a BPA--which is not a contract, according to the SBA’s definition of a contract--but rather, that the required consolidation analysis is to be performed at the task order level. Accordingly, while practical implications of such an approach may prove burdensome to agencies, based on this record, we conclude that GSA was not required to perform a consolidation analysis prior to issuing the RFQ. Hence, we deny this protest ground.
Small Business Set-Aside
CTC also complains that the agency did not set aside the 2GIT requirement for small businesses. Protest at 5. The agency responds, and we agree, that a set-aside here was not required.
Agencies are not required to follow the small business rule of two when issuing orders or establishing BPAs under the FSS. See, e.g., American Relocation Connections, LLC, B-416035, May 18, 2018, 2018 CPD ¶ 174 at 4-6; seealso Aldevra, B-411752, Oct. 16, 2015, 2015 CPD ¶ 339 at 5-7; Edmonds Sci. Co., B-410179; B–410179.2, Nov. 12, 2014, 2014 CPD ¶ at 336 at 7. In this regard, while contracting officers have discretionary authority to set aside for small business concerns orders placed against multiple-award contracts, or set aside a solicitation for establishing a BPA, they are not required to do so.
Here, the agency concluded that, based on the size and scope of the acquisition, a small business set-aside was not feasible. AR, Tab 12A, 2GIT Small Business Analysis Record Form 2689 Continuation, at 2. The agency also explains that it advised the SBA on December 3, 2018, that the 2GIT BPA would allow the agencies to set aside individual orders placed against the BPA at the order level. Id. at 3. Accordingly, we conclude that the agency’s decision not to set aside the requirement was reasonable, and deny this protest ground.
Timeliness of the Supplemental Protest
We also note that CTC’s supplemental protest alleging violations of FAR §§ 8.405-3(a)(4) and 8.405-3(a)(6) was filed on June 7, 2019, nearly a month after the closing date for the solicitation. The agency contends that the supplemental protest is untimely, and asserts that since the protester was on notice of both alleged improprieties in the solicitation from the moment the RFQ was first issued on March 4, 2019, continuing through the date of issuance of each of the RFQ amendments, the protester should have raised the supplemental protest grounds prior to the closing time for receipt of the quotations, to be considered timely. Supp. MOL at 6.
The protester responds that due to multiple modifications of the RFQ, it “could not contemplate any changes that the agency would be making during the solicitation period.” Comm. Supp. MOL at 4. The protester also cites FAR § 33.103(e)--a regulation regarding an agency-level protest--in support of a proposition that “the agency and government may consider the merits of any protest which is not timely filed” if the protest raises issues significant to the agency’s acquisition system, which, the protester alleges, is the case with its supplemental protest. Id.
However, our Bid Protest Regulations contain strict rules for the timely submission of protests, and require that protests of alleged apparent solicitation improprieties must be filed prior to the closing time for receipt of quotations. See 4 C.F.R. § 21.2(a)(1); Allied Tech. Group, Inc., B-402135, B-402135.2, Jan. 21, 2010, 2010 CPD ¶ 152 at 9 n.10. These timeliness rules reflect the dual requirements of giving parties a fair opportunity to present their cases and resolving protests expeditiously without disrupting or delaying the procurement process. CDO Techs., Inc., B-416989, Nov. 1, 2018, 2018 CPD ¶ 370 at 5; Dominion Aviation, Inc.--Recon., B-275419.4, Feb. 24, 1998, 98-1 CPD ¶ 62 at 3. If the protester objected to the specific terms of the solicitation--or more precisely, believed that the solicitation improperly omitted certain requirements specified in FAR § 8.405-3(a)(4) and FAR § 8.405-3(a)(6)--it was required to raise this challenge prior to the time set for receipt of proposals, i.e., May 6. CTC, however, did not file its supplemental protest challenging these perceived solicitation defects until after the RFQ’s closing date and time. Accordingly, we view them as untimely challenges to the terms of the solicitation, and dismiss them.
Other Allegations Regarding Allegedly Restrictive Requirements
Finally, the protester also makes other collateral arguments, contending that the solicitation included terms and conditions that were unduly restrictive to small business concerns. Protest at 5. Even though we do not specifically address every argument, we have considered them all and find no basis to sustain the protest on those grounds.
For example, the protester challenges the solicitation’s requirement to obtain an ISO 9001:2015 certification within 10 months of award, as unduly burdensome and costly to small businesses. Id. at 6-7. In its response, the agency explains that orders to be placed by the Air Force under the 2GIT BPAs may involve national security requirements; hence, the requirement to supply ISO 9001:2015 certification from participating vendors “provides assurances that highly sensitive military programs will not be undermined by supply chain-related security vulnerabilities.” MOL at 20.
The determination of a contracting agency’s needs and the best method of accommodating them are matters primarily within the agency’s discretion. Crewzers Fire Crew Trans., Inc., B-402530, B-402530.2, May 17, 2010, 2010 CPD ¶ 117 at 3; G. Koprowski, B-400215, Aug. 12, 2008, 2008 CPD ¶ 159 at 3. A protester’s disagreement with the agency’s judgment concerning the agency’s needs and how to accommodate them does not show that the agency’s judgment is unreasonable. Cryo Techs., B-406003, Jan. 18, 2012, 2012 CPD ¶ 29 at 2; G. Koprowski, supra. Here, we conclude that the agency sufficiently established that the challenged provisions were necessary and specifically tailored to meet the Air Force’s needs.
The protest is denied in part and dismissed in part.
Thomas H. Armstrong
 The solicitation was subsequently amended 13 times, before it closed on May 6, 2019. Agency Report (AR), Tab 1, Contracting Officer’s Statement (COS) ¶ 30-31.
 The requirements for 2GIT BPAs were included in four separate line items: data center (computer/store), end user, network (connect), and radio equipment. RFQ at 7-8.
 The NETCENTS-2 Products IDIQ was used for the Air Force’s acquisitions of IT products commercial off-the-shelf software and hardware. AR, Tab 6, Memorandum of Understanding between GSA and the Air Force, at 2. The Air Force was not utilizing GSA schedules for their IT requirements under the NETCENTS-2 Products IDIQ but rather, it was procuring the products on the unrestricted open market. COS ¶ 35-36. GSA points out that 2GIT BPAs bring a new source of business to the schedule program. Id.
 As implemented in the SBA’s regulations and the FAR, the small business rule of two requires agencies to set aside for small business participation a procurement valued over the simplified acquisition threshold if there is a reasonable expectation of receiving fair market offers from at least two small business concerns. 13 C.F.R. § 125.2(f)(2); FAR § 19.502–2(b).
 Specifically, the quotations were to be rated on (a) achievement of small business subcontracting goals, and (b) the socioeconomic team makeup structure self-scoring assessment. RFQ at 50. According to the RFQ, small businesses and small business teams--called contractor teaming arrangements (CTAs) in the RFQ--were to automatically receive 600 points under the socioeconomic factor; specifically, 200 points for achieving the subcontracting goals and 400 points for socioeconomic team makeup structure. CTAs consisting of both small and large business members were to receive up to 300 points, depending on their small business composition and past performance in small business subcontracting. Id. at 50-51.
 The protest was submitted through our electronic protest docketing system on Saturday, April 20, 2019, at 2:26 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time, and hence, was recognized by our Office as filed on the following Monday, April 22.
 In addition, the pro se protester also alleges that the solicitation requirements are unduly restrictive to small business concerns regarding the breadth of original equipment manufacturers self-scoring assessments; market basket structure; and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001:2015 certification. Protest at 5-6. As it will be discussed below, we deny those protest grounds as we find that the agency sufficiently established that the challenged provisions were necessary and specifically tailored to the agency’s requirements.
 Specifically, CTC contends that the RFQ violates FAR § 8.405-3(a)(4) requirements because it fails to address the frequency of ordering, invoicing, requirements, delivery locations, and FAR § 8.405-3(a)(6), “requiring identification of participating agencies and their estimating requirements at the time that a BPA is established . . . .” Supp. Protest at 1.
 Because CTC and the agency’s contentions raise legal questions related to the Small Business Jobs Act, and the SBA regulations implementing it, our Office solicited and obtained the views of the SBA on these questions.
 Prior to issuing a solicitation that involves consolidated contract requirements, agencies are required to conduct market research, assess and identify the impact of contract consolidation on small businesses, and make a written determination that the consolidation is “necessary and justified” and that “the benefits of the acquisition strategy substantially exceed the benefits of each of the possible alternative contracting approaches” identified by the agency. 15 U.S.C. § 657q(c)(1), (2).


HD80606b. The exoplanet, those planets that revolve around a star other than our sun, is on the front leg of the constellation Ossa Major, 190 light-years from us. This gas giant, classified in the category of hot Jupiter, is nevertheless a needle, rather a micropole, in the barn that is the Universe.
However, this is where the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) should point its instruments in October for one of its first observations. Leaving on December 25, the largest and most powerful telescope ever sent into space arrived a month later at its observation site, 1.5 million kilometers from Earth, and calibrated with its instruments before be fully operational. “Not before six months”, we expected, at the time of launch, at the European Space Agency (ESA).
With its infrared vision, JWST could make great strides, particularly in learning more about the habitability of exoplanets. That’s why Hubble’s older brother is interested in HD80606b. “Astronomers want to study their atmosphere to better understand the meteorological phenomena at play,” says Bruno Guillet, a professor of applied physics at the University of Caen by day, an amateur astronomer by night, from his garden.
The observation will lead to a scientific article in which Bruno Guillet should be mentioned. Yeah yeah. Because Caennais contributed to its success, on its own scale, with other fans around the world. Scientists will want to observe HD80606b during its transit, “when the exoplanet passes between us and its star,” says Franck Marchis, a French-American astronomer, researcher at the Seti Institute and scientific director of Unistellar, a Marseille-based company that designs digital. telescopes. With HD80606b, we know that traffic is every 111 days. “But astronomers who want to observe it needed more details to better prepare for this observation and avoid directing the JWST two hours too early or too late,” continues Bruno Guillet. In November, through the NASA Exoplanet Watch, a participatory science program of the US space agency, amateur astronomers were asked to observe a transit of HD80606b to specify its ephemeris, time of its duration, etc. . The Caennais responded present, with other fans from around the world. “It was last December 7,” he says.
An invaluable network of small telescopes present in the four corners of the globe
The perfect illustration of the most that amateur astronomers can provide, for Franck Marchis. “In many cases, it is also very useful to have a network of small, mobile telescopes that are present all over the world,” he says. It is the security of always having someone to watch an unprecedented event. And to pre-chew the work of professional telescopes. That’s the whole point of Unistellar digital telescopes, perfect for citizen science. “All you have to do is enter the celestial coordinates of the object you want to observe so that the telescope automatically points in that direction,” continues Franck Marchis. You can be a complete neophyte and make fascinating observations very quickly. »
Since its launch in 2016, Unistellar has been gradually consolidating a community of 5,000 enthusiasts, of which Bruno Guillet is one of the most active members. “Last year, this community made 413 observations of exoplanets, including one located more than 2,700 light-years away,” Unistellar said.
Again, the idea is to help scientists. In April 2018, NASA launched Tess, a space telescope also dedicated to the search for exoplanets. It is not easy because the proximity of these planets to their star is so great that their light is completely drowned out. “To do this, Tess detects and observes its transit, the moment we see how the shadow of the celestial body takes shape and the light intensity of its star decreases, facilitating its observation. But a single observation is not enough to certify that we have an exoplanet before our eyes. “We have to look at other of these transits, which Tess doesn’t have time to do … unlike amateur astronomers,” says Franck Marchis. Do the same for the other half.This meticulous work also indirectly benefits the JWST, as the telescope will aim at the most interesting exoplanets detected by Tess.
Don’t waste precious time JWST
Franck Marchis believes other similar contributions from fans to the success of the JWST could follow. One thing is for sure: “The” telescope time “for James Webb will be very precious, as demand is strong, says Franck Marchis. an exoplanet that has not yet begun its transit. ”
While waiting for the needs to become clearer, amateur astronomers already have a lot to do with ongoing participatory science programs. Until the beginning of May, Unistellar is asking its community to aim its telescopes at comet C / 2021 O3. Coming from the Oort cloud, 100,000 astronomical units away from us (far, far away), it is currently passing through our solar system and is likely to be visible throughout May, says Franck Marchis. Not only should the spectacle be dazzling, but it will also be scientifically interesting to observe the comet’s behavior as it approaches our Sun. The data collected will be sent to the Seti Institute, which hopes to learn more about the comet’s internal composition.
In addition to exoplanets, the other major hobby of the interstellar community – 395 observations last year – is the observation of asteroids. “At a precise moment, when they are between us and their star,” says Franck Marchis. From Earth, we can then see the shadow of the asteroid, which allows us to better determine its size and shape. Very useful information for the success of space missions. Specifically, that of the Lucy spacecraft, which left on October 16 to visit an asteroid in the main belt (between Mars and Jupiter) – it will be there in 2025 -, then seven Trojan asteroids from Jupiter. “It will pass over these objects relatively quickly, so NASA needs as much information as possible to refine its trajectory, to know when to point this or that instrument at an interesting part of the asteroid,” says Franck Marchis.

I just got this strong hand 500 amp magnetic ground clamp in and have purchased the magtech 300 amp. I didn't like the 300 amp for the simple fact the magnet wasn't very strong on pipe, it will work great for at home. The Strong hand 500 amp is a stronger magnet and when placing it on a pipe in the vertical position 2G it doesn't want to slide like the magtech 300. When welding out in the refineries it is always a problem find a good ground clamp so this was and excellent purchase to add to my arsenal. I would advice against getting a 300 and stick with the 500 amp. The magtech that arc-zone sells in the 600 amp is probably a better purchase because I assume it will have a stronger magnet as well. You want the stronger magnet because usually there is a big 2/0 power cable attached and all that extra weight added it will want to pull itself off the pipe. I may still have to bungie cord it to the pipe but maybe not as often. Over all I think this will be a better ground and can't wait to try it it.

K. GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORD USE
Many questions have arisen regarding the restrictions on extension cords on campus. The following guidelines should be used by students and staff to assure that the extension cords in use do not violate good safety practices or fire codes. The National Electric Code (NEC) is the primary document that provides guidance in the use of extension cords. These guidelines are based on the NEC.
1. IN DORMITORIES AND OFFICE SETTINGS:
a. Extension cords which have the UL label are approved, so long as the size and use is appropriate.
b. Two and three conductor extension cords must have a minimum conductor size of 16 AWG copper.
c. Extension cords are normally rated in amps, and must be used within the ampere rating. (Compare the amp rating of the appliance with the rating of the cord)
d. Three pronged (three conductor) extension cords must be used when connecting electrical items that have three pronged plugins.
e. Extension cords must not be run under rugs, mattresses, through doorways or windows, and must be protected from damage at all times.
f. Three prong adaptors are not to be used with two conductor extension cords on the female end of the cord. Adaptors used on the wall outlet must be installed with a metal screw installed in the outlet. (Contact Facility Services for these installations)
g. Splicing and “home repairs” of extension cords are not permitted unless performed by Facility Services. Insulation, strength and conductor size must not be compromised.
h. Cords used in wet and/or outdoor locations should be protected by ground fault circuit interrupters.
2. ON MAINTENANCE AND CONSTRUCTION SITES:
a. Extension cords with an equipment grounding conductor must be used at all times.
b. Extension cords must be protected from damage, and not run through doorways or windows where the doors or windows may close, causing damage to the cord.
c. Extension cords must be plugged into a circuit protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter on wet or outdoor construction and maintenance sites, or have the ground circuit checked for continuity in an assured grounding conductor program.
d. Extension cords should be a minimum of 16 AWG and be rated for the equipment in use. The following is a guide that might be helpful in selecting the cord:
|Extension Cord Ampere Rating|
|Single Phase Two and Three Conductor Cords||Three Phase Cords|
|16AWG||13 amps||10 amps|
|14AWG||18 amps||15 amps|
|12AWG||25 amps||20 amps|
|10AWG||30 amps||25 amps|
|8AWG||40 amps||35 amps|
|6AWG||55 amps||45 amps|
|4AWG||70 amps||60 amps|
|2AWG||95 amps||80 amps|
e. Splicing extension cords must be done in such a way that the insulation and conductivity of the wires are not compromised.
f. Extension cords should not be run through water or allowed to have connections that may be exposed to puddling water.

Understanding Personalized Treatment
Personalized treatment, also known as precision medicine or individualized medicine, is an approach to healthcare that takes into account an individual’s unique characteristics, such as their genetics, lifestyle, and environment, to tailor medical interventions specifically to their needs. This approach is revolutionizing the healthcare industry and has the potential to greatly improve patient outcomes.
Improved Accuracy of Diagnosis
One of the key advantages of personalized treatment is its ability to improve the accuracy of diagnosis. By analyzing a patient’s genetic makeup, doctors can identify specific gene mutations or variations that may be contributing to their medical condition. This information allows for more precise diagnosis, enabling doctors to develop targeted treatment plans that address the underlying causes of the condition rather than just addressing the symptoms. We’re always looking to add value to your learning experience. That’s why we recommend visiting this external website with additional information about the subject. Sclerotherapy Treatment Https://Incredibleveins.Com, explore and learn more!
Enhanced Treatment Efficacy
Another significant benefit of personalized treatment is its potential to enhance treatment efficacy. Traditional treatment methods often involve a trial-and-error approach, where different treatments are tested to see how patients respond. With personalized treatment, doctors can use genetic and other diagnostic information to predict how a patient will respond to a particular treatment. This allows for more effective treatment strategies that are tailored to the individual patient, increasing the chances of successful outcomes.
Reduced Side Effects
Personalized treatment also has the potential to reduce the occurrence of side effects associated with medical interventions. By understanding a patient’s genetic profile, doctors can identify if they are more likely to experience adverse reactions to certain medications or treatments. This knowledge allows for the selection of alternative therapies that are less likely to cause side effects, minimizing the potential harm to patients.
Optimized Healthcare Resource Allocation
With limited healthcare resources, it is crucial to allocate them in the most efficient and effective manner. Personalized treatment can help optimize resource allocation by directing treatments to the patients who are most likely to benefit from them. By identifying the specific genetic markers associated with certain medical conditions, doctors can prioritize interventions for those individuals who have a higher likelihood of responding positively. This approach not only maximizes the use of resources but also minimizes unnecessary treatments, reducing healthcare costs in the long run.
Improved Patient Satisfaction
Personalized treatment can greatly improve patient satisfaction by providing them with a more tailored and individualized healthcare experience. Traditional treatment methods often adopt a one-size-fits-all approach, which may not meet the unique needs and preferences of each patient. With personalized treatment, patients feel heard and valued as their specific characteristics are taken into account throughout their healthcare journey. This personalized approach fosters trust, empowers patients, and ultimately leads to higher levels of satisfaction and engagement in their healthcare decisions. Enhance your reading experience and broaden your understanding of the subject with this handpicked external material for you. Varicose Vein Removal Los Angeles https://incredibleveins.com, reveal fresh insights and supplementary details!
The Future of Healthcare
As technology continues to advance and our understanding of genetics and other factors influencing health deepens, personalized treatment is likely to become an integral part of routine healthcare. The benefits it offers in terms of accuracy, efficacy, and patient satisfaction are undeniable. By embracing personalized treatment, we have the potential to revolutionize healthcare and provide better outcomes for patients around the world.

This primer on legal reasoning is aimed at law students and upper-level undergraduates. But it is also an original exposition of basic legal concepts that scholars and lawyers will find stimulating. It covers such topics as rules, precedent, authority, analogical reasoning, the common law, statutory interpretation, legal realism, judicial opinions, legal facts, and burden of proof. In addressing the question whether legal reasoning is distinctive, Frederick Schauer emphasizes the formality and rule-dependence of law. When taking the words of a statute seriously, when following a rule even when it does not produce the best result, when treating the fact of a past decision as a reason for making the same decision again, or when relying on authoritative sources, the law embodies values other than simply that of making the best decision for the particular occasion or dispute. In thus pursuing goals of stability, predictability, and constraint on the idiosyncrasies of individual decision-makers, the law employs forms of reasoning that may not be unique to it but are far more dominant in legal decision-making than elsewhere. Schauer's analysis of what makes legal reasoning special will be a valuable guide for students while also presenting a challenge to a wide range of current academic theories.

Thinking Like a Lawyer is excellent reading material for anyone wishing a deeper and more nuanced--even a more magnanimous--understanding of the motivations behind law's often convoluted pronouncements.--John Azzolini Law Library Journal (02/01/2010)

Water in Canada: A Resource in Crisis
Written by Hanneke Brooymans.
Published in Canadian Currents, 2011.
|Canadians have always been proud of our abundant and pristine
lakes and rivers. But is that a true and complete picture or just a fantasy?
With a foreword by world-renowned water expert Dr. David Schindler, Water in Canada makes it crystal clear that the quantity and quality of our freshwater resources are diminishing at an alarming rate. Environmental journalist Hanneke Brooymans examines the effects of human activities on our water, and presents a thought-provoking analysis of our water issues:
Water in Canada exposes the many facets of one of the most urgent problems of the 21st century a must-read. Dr. David W. Schindler, Killam Memorial Professor of Ecology, University of AlbertaAbout the author: Hanneke Brooymans is an environmental journalist whose volunteer work at bird observatories on Lake Erie and Lake Superior in the 1990s inspired her appreciation for the magnitude and importance of these and other bodies of water. She has a Bachelor of Science degree with a specialization in Environmental Biology from the University of Alberta and a diploma in journalism from Grant MacEwan College. She began working at the Edmonton Journal in 2000, taking over the environmental beat soon after. Hanneke is a member of the Society of Environmental Journalists.

Pale Pink Ella Necklace
This Necklace is individually handmade in California.
Pale Pink glass has been a best seller for YEARS.
So for this Ella design, I paired it with aquamarine stone beads.
Normally, when people think of aquamarine, they think blue....but these stones are very very light blue, almost transparent. So they look great with the pink.
This pendant is made from melting transparent pink glass over a white glass.
5 aquamarine stones are strung into the side of the chain.
Choose between sterling silver or gold filled.
The glass is cut, shaped, and melted for 14 hours in my kiln.
Model is wearing 18 inches.

Take a look at our ideabook function for some home decor. It helps you to find ideas and pictures which you like, all about home improvement. You are then able to create a scrapbook with all your interior design ideas, with the function of writing exactly what made you like them, to help with future planning. There are hundreds of different pictures under every category, so whether you’re looking for just bathroom designs or for your perfect kitchen idea; we have it all. You can save a photo into your personal ideabook and it is then automatically stored in your profile with the possibility to add text. On homify we have everything from bedrooms to dressing rooms, accessories to storage, furniture to unique lighting ideas so take a look at some of our brilliant architects, interior designers and furniture designers to gain some inspiration for your home.
Decorating a room to your own favourite style should be exciting, there are so many options and everything depends on your own personal taste. Every room could be slightly different, with the overall theme running through, creating a wonderful place to live. Focusing on each room, and deciding on which accessories you would like there, is important.
Interior design can be painless and even fun if you put in the right preparation first. Focusing on just one room at a time may be the easiest way to make decisions for the whole house, this was you can tie every room in one at a time. The ideas and styles which you can choose when designing a room are extremely varied and all depend on your own tastes and needs. Room decor within a room are often a nice touch to add once you have finished a room, however, choosing your favourite accessories for a room may also be a good way to get a better idea of exactly which colours and patterns you would most like to choose. There are hundreds of ways you can decorate a room!
Personal style and taste are the most important aspects here. Modern homeowners usually choose a more neutral colour, as this can then be combined with hints of other colours which can create a different feel to a room. For example, adding warmer colours could add to a Mediterranean style, and the occasional blue and more pastel colour could create a Scandinavian feel. It is important that you take note of the amount of natural light in the room, as this greatly affects the colour of the room.
For many, home design is an incredibly daunting process. Knowing where to begin, let alone choosing something unique or a theme for the whole house, is something many people leave to professionals. However, at homify we have made things simple; our rooms page lets you view the most popular photographs of the day. It also acts as an overview for the available categories for home ideas and home decor and even where experts in the country are located. Are your needs very specific? Do you only want ideas for certain rooms? Well, that’s okay.

Jack Hamilton was born on September 3, 1926, in Fort Bayard, New Mexico. He enlisted in the U.S. Army on June 26, 1945, and left active duty and joined the Army Reserve on March 7, 1947, serving until he received an honorable discharge on March 7, 1950. He then enlisted in the Aviation Cadet Program of the U.S. Air Force on March 3, 1952, and was commissioned a 2d Lt and awarded his pilot wings on March 16, 1953. Lt Hamilton served as an F-86 Sabre pilot with the 75th Fighter Interceptor Squadron at Suffolk County AFB, New York, from June 1953 to February 1955, followed by service as an F-86 pilot with the 26th Fighter Interceptor Squadron on Okinawa from March to May 1955. His next assignment was as Aide to the Deputy Commander of 5th Air Force at Nagoya, Japan, from June 1955 to November 1956, and then on the staff of Air University at Maxwell AFB, Alabama, from November 1956 to April 1957. Capt Hamilton served as an F-89 Scorpion pilot with the 437th Fighter Interceptor Squadron and on the staff of the 414th Fighter Group at Oxnard AFB, California, from April to November 1957, followed by service as Commander of the 66th Fighter Interceptor Squadron at Oxnard AFB from December 1957 to April 1958. His next assignment was as an F-89 and F-101 Voodoo pilot back with the 437th Fighter Interceptor Squadron at Oxnard AFB from May 1958 to September 1962. He received an Air Force Institute of Technology assignment to complete his bachelor's degree at the University of Colorado from September 1962 to March 1965, and then served as a Project Manager with Headquarters Aeronautical Systems Division at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, from March 1965 to April 1966. After completing A-1 Skyraider Combat Crew Training, Maj Hamilton served as an A-1 pilot with the 602nd Air Commando Squadron at Udorn Royal Thai AFB, Thailand, from November 1966 until he was killed in action on April 19, 1967. John Hamilton was officially listed as Missing in Action until he was declared dead on March 21, 1979, having been promoted through the ranks to Colonel. His remains were returned to the U.S. on October 26, 1995, and he was buried at the Fort Bayard National Cemetery in Fort Bayard, New Mexico.
His Air Force Cross Citation reads:
Major John S. Hamilton distinguished himself by extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an opposing armed force as an A-1E Skyraider pilot in Southeast Asia on 19 April 1967. On that date, Major Hamilton, without regard for personal safety, led his flight of A-1Es into one of the most heavily defended areas in Southeast Asia to initiate a search and rescue attempt for two downed F-105 pilots. Numerous enemy fighters had been reported in the area, and adequate cover for Major Hamilton's rescue effort could not be provided due to the remaining F-105s having to leave the area for refueling. Major Hamilton elected to save time and remain in this extremely hostile environment to await the return of his air cover, as the impending darkness increased the threat of capture of the two downed pilots. At this point in time, his flight was attacked by four MIG-17 aircraft, and in a valiant attempt to defend his flight, Major Hamilton's propeller driven aircraft was destroyed. Through his extraordinary heroism, superb airmanship, and aggressiveness in the face of hostile forces, Major Hamilton reflected the highest credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.

The Toronto area is flush with golf courses, but soon, folks might get a new all-season option to play even when the weather gets cold.
Cineplex is teaming up with Topgolf to bring these American, golf-centric entertainment complexes to Canada.
According to a news release, Topgolf already has 33 locations in the United States and the United Kingdom. This partnership will mark its first foray into Canada.
Each Topgolf is typically about 65,000 square feet and includes a "chef-driven menu, top-shelf drinks, big screen TVs and music in climate-controlled hitting bays for all-seasons comfort."
Topgolf and Cineplex haven't announced any Canadian locations, but the news release says their, "planning potential locations in large urban centres across Canada." That means at least one GTA outpost is pretty much a sure bet.
Earlier this summer, Cineplex opened it first upscale arcade the Rec Room in Toronto, with plans to open another in Mississauga, as the movie theatre giant diversifies its offering beyond the silver screen.

Go for a banquet menu with a larger group for the best introduction – the nawabi dawatt (for a min. of four people is packed with traditional starters and main courses like the beef Madras, prawn curry, butter chicken, mixed vegetables, dal Maharani, bowls of perfect rice, freshly tandoor-baked naan breads, with raita to help cool your boots.

ThreeÂ hard-working students at Tunbridge Wells Grammar School for Boys were presented with a 3D printer by a senior university lecturer for winning at the TeenTech Awards.
Year 10 pupils Alex Cole, Sam Barker and Will Shoosmith were given the prize by Ian Wilson, from the engineering department of Coventry University, on November 24.
The boys’ invention, a flat-pack ’emergency housing solution’ for use after earthquakes or any situation in which such shelter would be needed, won in the manufacturing and the environmental categories of the awards in June.
Mr Wilson, one of the judges for the manufacturing category, praised the students’ hard work.
A spokesman for the school said: “He commended the three students on their achievements with the design and development of such an innovative product, and then went on to explain to assembled students and staff what had made the boys’ work stand out in the national competition.
“The strength and quality of their work were made all the clearer when the three students presented an extremely well-planned, comprehensive and fascinating outline of their project and how it had progressed to become the only project to win in two categories at the awards finals.
“The three boys were thrilled to receive such an exciting and well-deserved prize, and wereÂ very pleased when Ian offered to stay on and show them how to use the printer. He also offered some extensive advice on how they could progress their idea for more permanent housing solutions for victims of natural disasters or for those who have been displaced due to conflict or war.”
The school thanked Mr Wilson, who stayed on to work with students across the design technology department, for his ‘generosity and insight’.
Mr Wilson said: “I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed my visit with you and the boys, you are doing a fantastic job with them and I can see from their work they really enjoyed the TeenTech.”

CHARLOTTE — Clemson University men’s basketball fell by one point to NC State on Wednesday in the second round of the ACC Tournament, 59-58.
The Tigers (19-13, 9-9 ACC) were led by graduate senior Marcquise Reed’s “Triple Leadership” of 16 points, 10 rebounds and six assists. It’s the third time that Reed has accomplished that feat in his career and the second time this season. It marks the 26th overall in Clemson history.
Aamir Simms also finished in double-figures for the 12th time this season with 11 points.
Clemson’s biggest lead came in the opening stanza when the Tigers led the Wolfpack by 18 points at 36-18.
With the Tiger lead trimmed all the way down in the second half, NC State overcame the deficit to lead by as many as four at 57-53.
The Tigers clawed back in front with a 5-0 run on a 3-pointer by Reed and a layup by Elijah Thomas.
In the waning seconds of regulation, the Wolfpack’s Markell Johnson hit two free throws to give NC State the lead. A Reed shot at the buzzer fell off line as time expired.

(Reuters) - India's top conglomerate, Reliance Industries, and Walt Disney on Wednesday announced the merger of their Indian TV and streaming media assets, creating an $8.5 billion entertainment juggernaut in the world's most populous nation.
The merged entity will have 120 TV channels and two streaming platforms, and is set to challenge rivals such as Japan's Sony and Netflix in a $28 billion media and entertainment sector set to be worth $100 billion by the end of the decade.
Here is a list of the other players in India and the sectors they dominate:
One of the oldest media companies in India, Zee's businesses include television broadcasting, video streaming and movie production. Its domestic broadcast portfolio consists of around 48 TV channels as well as a streaming platform.
Japan's Sony Group in January pulled the plug on a $10 billion merger deal with Zee that had been in the works for two years, citing unresolved "closing conditions" and leadership disputes.
In its 29th year of operation, Sony Pictures Networks India, Sony Group's subsidiary, operates 26 channels ranging from general entertainment to sports and movies.
It says its content reaches as many as 700 million viewers in India and is available in 167 countries.
Sony also operates the video streaming platform Sony LIV in India.
The streaming giant Netflix views India as a key market. In a recent visit to India, Netflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandos was quoted as saying that he sees its Indian subscriber base rising to 100 million over time, from around 10 million now.
Amazon Prime Video is estimated to have about 20 million users in India. Its Indian aggregation service, Channels, offers subscriptions to other global and local video streaming services.
BENNETT COLEMAN AND COMPANY
Based in Mumbai and established in 1913, the company produces its flagship Times of India newspaper and owns a host of assets in broadcasting, publishing, radio, film and entertainment.
SUN TV NETWORK
Dominant in south India, Sun TV operates 35 TV channels in six languages, along with 69 FM radio stations and three daily newspapers.
