This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: CW Government Travel, Inc. File: B-295530 Date: March 7, 2005 Lars E. Anderson, Esq., Benjamin A. Winter, Esq., and Julia M. Kiraly, Esq., Venable LLP, for the protester. Raymond M. Saunders, Esq., Maj. Anissa N. Parekh, Department of the Army, for the agency. Jonathan L.

(CWGTI) protests the adequacy of the guaranteed minimum amount for request for proposals (RFP) No. W91QUZ-04-R-0014, issued by the Department of the Army for commercial travel office services under the developmental, automated Defense Travel System (DTS) program. We deny the protest. The RFP anticipates multiple awards of indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (ID/IQ) contracts for Department of Defense (DOD) wide travel agent services. The base ordering period is 2 years, with three 1-year option ordering periods. Subsequent task orders will be competed among the contract awardees. The DTS services are intended to replace traditional travel services, which require direct communication between government travel customers and travel agents, with an automated, paperless system. However, because of ongoing transition efforts, the contractors will be required to provide traditional, as well as DTS, services. The RFP seeks to consolidate and standardize travel services within DOD under a single procuring activity. Task orders will be issued for various worldwide regions,
