 <title><![CDATA[&#147;Did you hear...&#148; ]]></title>
 <description><![CDATA[Busted. The General Accounting Office this month sustained a small-business protest against the Veterans Affairs Department because of a bogus database search. According to the ruling, VA decided to open up an eyeglass fitting and manufacturing contract to all bidders instead of just small businesses, which had previously snared the four-eyes awards. The reason? VA&#146;s contracting officer searched the Small Business Administration&#146;s Pro-Net database for small businesses with annual revenue no higher than $6, instead of $6 million. Not surprisingly, the small-biz database doesn&#146;t bother to track kids&#146; lemonade stands, dot-bombs or corporate paupers such as Enron Corp. GAO upheld the protest of Rochester Optical Manufacturing Co. of Rochester, N.Y. ]]></description>
