Ganister, Esq., Rosenthal and Ganister, LLC, for the protester. Marc Lamer, Esq., Kostos & Lamer, P.C., for Creighton AB, Inc., an intervenor. Shantay N. Clarke, Esq., and Allison Colsey Eck, Esq., Defense Logistics Agency, for the agency. Louis A. Chiarella, Esq., and Guy R. Pietrovito, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that awardee was not enrolled in the employment eligibility verification (E-Verify) system at time of contract award involves a matter of contract administration not subject to GAO's review. DECISION Ashland Sales & Service Co., of Olive Hill, Kentucky, protests the award of a contract to Creighton AB, Inc., of Reidsville, North Carolina, under request for proposals (RFP) No. SPM1C1-13-R-0028, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) for men's and women's Air Force lightweight jackets. Ashland argues that the award to Creighton is improper because Creighton was not registered in the E-Verify system' as required by the terms of the solicitation. We dismiss the protest because it raises a matter of contract administration over which we do not exercise jurisdiction. 1 E-Verify is an internet-based system operated by the Department of Homeland Security (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service) in partnership with the Social Security Administration that allows participating employers to electronically verify the employment eligibility of certain employees. As of September 8, 2009, federal contractors and subcontractors are required to use the E-Verify system to verify their employees' eligibility to work in the United States. Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) § 22.1803.
