          DIGEST

          Protest that agency improperly obtained items outside the scope of a multiple-award
          indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract is denied where the item is reasonably
          encompassed  by the contract at issue.
          DECISION

          Outdoor Venture Corporation, of Stearns, Kentucky, protests the decision of the
          Department  of the Army to obtain Ultra Lightweight Camouflage Net Systems
          (ULCANS)  under a multiple award, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (ID/IQ)
          delivery order contract. Outdoor Venture asserts that the products being procured,
          full concealment covers, are outside the scope of the ID/IQ contract.

          We  deny the protest.

          BACKGROUND

          The agency awarded two ID/IQ contracts on June 7, 2006, with a duration of 5 years
          and a combined ceiling of $1.7 billion dollars. The two awardees, GMA Cover
          Corporation (GMA) and Saab Barracuda, LLC, are also the only two sources for the
          specialized fabric required to produce ULCANS.
