DIGEST Award of a blanket purchase agreement based on a competition among Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) vendors using Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 8 procedures, is improper, where awardee's quotation contains services not identified on its FSS contract. DECISION American Systems Consulting, Inc. (ASCI) protests the award of blanket purchase agreement (BPA) No. HC1013-04-A-5001 to ManTech Advanced Systems International under a request for quotations (RFQ) issued by the Defense Information Technology Contracting Organization (DITCO) for systems applications and support for the Defense Commissary Agency (DCA). The BPA resulted from a competition conducted among Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) vendors using Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 8 procedures. ASCI contends, among other things, that some of the purchased services are outside the scope of ManTech's FSS contract. We sustain the protest.
