DIGEST
Protest challenging the awardee's eligibility for the issuance of a task order is denied
where the terms of the indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract specifically permit
the awardee's submission of a proposal through the contract of an affiliated company.
DECISION
Global Technology and Management Resources, Inc. (GTMR), a small business of
Hollywood, Maryland, protests the issuance of a task order to Secise, LLC, a small
business joint venture of Bel Air, Maryland, under solicitation No. N00421-22-R-3013,
issued by the Department of the Navy, Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) for
engineering, logistics, and other technical contractor support services. The protester
contends that the Navy unreasonably concluded that the agency could issue the task
order to a firm that does not hold the associated contract.
We deny the protest.
BACKGROUND
On July 19, 2023, the Navy issued the request for proposals (RFP) to holders of the
Navy's SeaPort Next Generation (NxG) multiple-award, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-
quantity (IDIQ) contract, pursuant to the procedures of Federal Acquisition Regulation
