Decision Matter of: Technatomy Corporation File: B-405130 Date: June 14, 2011 J. Cobbie De Graft, Esq., for the protester. John E. McCarthy, Esq., Sarah B. Gleich, Esq., and Howard H. Yuan, Esq., Crowell & Moring LLP, for Catapult Technology, Inc., an intervenor. Stephanie A. Kreis, Esq., Department of Defense, for the agency. Paul N. Wengert, Esq., Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., Sharon L. Larkin, Esq., James A. Spangenberg, Esq., and Daniel M. Reach, Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST The Government Accountability Office (GAO) will not dismiss a protest concerning the issuance of a task order under the authority of Title 41 of the U.S. Code, notwithstanding the sunset of 41 U.S.C. § 4106(f) (2006 & Supp. IV 2010) (formerly codified at 41 U.S.C. § 253j(e) (2006 & Supp. III 2009)). The sunset provision eliminated both a pre-existing restriction on GAO's jurisdiction to hear protests concerning the issuance of task or delivery orders under multiple-award indefinite- delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts, and a temporary partial waiver of that restriction concerning task orders over $10 million. With the elimination of both the underlying restriction, and the partial waiver of that restriction, GAO's jurisdiction reverts to its original jurisdiction for its bid protest function--i.e., the jurisdiction set forth in the Competition in Contracting Act of 1984--under which GAO had jurisdiction to hear such protests. DECISION Technatomy Corporation, of Fairfax, Virginia, protests the issuance of a task order to Catapult Technology, Inc., of Bethesda, Maryland, under solicitation No. EGO184.00, by the Department of Defense, Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), for support of the U.S. Army Information Technology Agency. The order was issued under a multiple-award indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (ID/IQ) contract awarded by the General Services Administration (GSA). The protester argues that the agency unreasonably evaluated vendors' technical and cost quotations.
