         File:       B-293871; B-293871.2

         Date:       June 17, 2004

         Robert E. Korroch, Esq., Williams Mullen, for the protester.
         David D. Bach, Esq., Department of the Navy, Naval Sea Systems Command, for the
         agency.

         DIGEST

         Protest that agency improperly obtained services outside scope of multiple-award
         indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts is denied where services were
         reasonably encompassed by the contracts at issue.
         DECISION

         Specialty Marine, Inc. protests the decision of the Department of the Navy,
         Supervisor of Shipbuilding, Conversion and Repair, USN, Portsmouth, VA
         (SUPSHIP) to obtain maintenance and repair services for the USNS MOHAWK
         (T-ATF 170) and the USNS APACHE (T-ATF 172) 1 under certain multiple-award,
         indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (ID/IQ) task order contracts. Specialty Marine
         principally maintains that these services are outside the scope of the ID/IQ contracts,
         and that by acquiring them under the contracts, the agency has engaged in improper
         bundling.

         We deny the protest.






         1 The Navy explains that the designation ATF is an acronym for Fleet Ocean Tug
         and the prefix T signifies that the ship is assigned to the Commander, Military
         Sealift Command (MSC). Contracting Officer (CO) Statement at 1 n.2.
