File: B-291771 Date: March 17, 2003 Bonnie Freeman, Esq., Senneff Freeman & Bluestone, for the protester. Brian A. Bannon, Esq., and David A. Leib, Esq., Blank Rome, for the agency. David A. Ashen, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST The Presidio Trust, a wholly-owned government corporation, is not subject to the General Accounting Office's bid protest jurisdiction under the Competition in Contracting Act of 1984 (CICA), since the Trust is statutorily exempt from all federal procurement laws and regulations but for certain enumerated exceptions that do not include CICA. DECISION Performance Excavators, Inc. (PerfEx) protests the Presidio Trust's award of a contract to ERRG, Inc. and Associates, Joint Venture (ERRG), under invitation for bids (IFB) No. IFB-2002-016, for environmental cleanup. PerfEx asserts that award to ERRG was improper because ERRG did not satisfy a solicitation requirement for a specific business license. We dismiss the protest for lack of jurisdiction. The Presidio Trust is a wholly-owned government corporation established to exercise administrative jurisdiction over the Presidio, a former military post in San Francisco, and to manage the leasing, maintenance, rehabilitation, repair and improvement of property within the Presidio under its administrative jurisdiction. Omnibus Parks and Public Lands Management Act of 1996 (Act), Pub.L. No. 104-333, §§ 103(a), (b), 104(a)-(c), 110 Stat. 4093, 4098, 4101 (1996). The IFB contemplated award of a contract for environmental remediation of a landfill and fill site on the Presidio, and required firms to possess a valid Class A Hazardous California State Contractor's License at the time of bid opening. IFB at 9.
