DIGEST 1. Protest jurisdiction of the Government Accountability Office (GAO) extends to protest of a no-cost contractual agreement for the provision of lodging services to transient soldiers, as part of the Department of the Army's privatization of Army lodging program, because the contract concerns a procurement for services by a federal agency and results in a benefit to the government. 2. Protest challenging agency's alleged modification of a contract as an improper relaxation of requirements is denied where there was no change to the scope of work anticipated by the underlying solicitation. DECISION Armed Forces Hospitality, LLC (AFH), of Bethesda, Maryland, protests the modification of the contract awarded to Actus Lend Lease, LLC, of Nashville, Tennessee, by the Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers, regarding the privatization of Army lodging (Group A) project. AFH argues that the Army improperly relaxed the performance requirements in the contract beyond what was reasonably contemplated by the scope of work of the underlying solicitation. We deny the protest.
