Washington, DC 20548                                 The decision issued on the date below was subject to a

          Decision

          Matter of:  Morris Corporation

          File:       B-400336

          Date:       October 15, 2008

          James H. Roberts, III, Esq., and Carrol H. Kinsey, Jr., Esq., Van Scoyoc Kelly PLLC,
          for the protester.
          Christine M. Choi, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency.
          Paula A. Williams, Esq., and Ralph 0. White, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
          GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          Protest that agency improperly determined that a task order for detainee food
          services could be issued under an existing indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity
          (ID/IQ) contract that expressly anticipated providing food services for Iraqi police
          and military forces is denied because the record shows that offerors could have
          reasonably anticipated during the original ID/IQ competition that feeding
          requirements, like those here, could be obtained through task orders issued against
          the resulting contracts.
          DECISION

          Morris Corporation protests the decision of the Department of the Army, Joint
          Contract Command-Iraq (JCC-I), to obtain detainee food services through a task
          order proposal request issued under multiple-award, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-
          quantity (ID/IQ) contract No. W91GYO-07-D-0017. Morris, which does not hold one
          of the ID/IQ contracts at issue in this procurement, argues that detainee food
          services do not fall within the scope of the ID/IQ contract. The protester also argues
          that by acquiring these services under the ID/IQ contract, the Army is effectively
          precluding Morris from competing for this work.'

          We deny the protest.



          'Since 2006, Morris has been providing detainee food services in various Iraqi
          detention centers.
