handle is hein.gao/gaobadulg0001 and id is 1 raw text is: GAO U.S. GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE 441 G St. N.W. Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Decision The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for publi c release. Matter of: AMAR Health IT, LLC File: B-414384.3 Date: March 13, 2018 Hal J. Perloff, Esq., David P. Hendel, Esq., and Steven A. Neeley, Jr., Esq., Husch Blackwell LLP, for the protester. J. Patrick McMahon, Esq., William T. Welch, Esq., and Peter A. Fish, Esq., McMahon, Welch and Learned, PLLC, for Zolon Tech., Inc., the intervenor. Christine F. Simpson, Esq., Department of Health and Human Services, for the agency. Katherine I. Riback, Esq., and Amy B. Pereira, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest of the issuance of a task order conducted under Title 41 of the United States Code is dismissed where the task order is valued at less than $10 million. 2. Protest is dismissed where GAO does not have jurisdiction to resolve a protest of a task order below $10 million dollars based on the allegation the agency effectively terminated protester's task order where the agency argues that the original task order (valued above $10 million) was not terminated, but lapsed. DECISION AMAR Health IT, LLC, of North Bethesda, Maryland, protests the issuance of a task order under request for quotations (RFQ) No. NIHM2017001 GB, issued by the Department of Health and Human Services, National Institute of Health, to Zolon Tech., Inc. for information technology services for the processing of health-related journal manuscripts. AMAR argues that the agency effectively terminated the task order that it had been awarded--which at the time exceeded our jurisdictional threshold, and then based on an improper evaluation, issued a task order to Zolon that fell below our jurisdictional threshold. Protest at 9. We dismiss the protest because our Office does not have jurisdiction to entertain protests of task orders issued under civilian agency multiple-award, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts that are valued at less than $10 million.
