handle is hein.gao/gaobadssd0001 and id is 1 raw text is: G A O Comptroller General Accountabilty * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 Decision Matter of: Ryan Consulting Group, Inc. File: B-414014 Date: November 7, 2016 Denise Redding for the protester. Blythe I. Rodgers, Esq., and Julie K. Cannatti, Esq., Department of Housing and Urban Development, for the agency. Paula A. Williams, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST The Government Accountability Office (GAO) lacks jurisdiction to consider protests in connection with task and delivery orders valued above $10 million issued under civilian agency multiple-award indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts because GAO's specific authority to hear such protests has expired. DECISION Ryan Consulting Group, Inc., of Indianapolis, Indiana, protests the issuance of a task order to 22nd Century Team, LLC, of McLean, Virginia, by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to provide enterprise architecture and information technology management support services. The order, valued above $10 million, was issued under a multiple-award, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract awarded by the Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health (NIH), pursuant to the civilian agency task and delivery ordering authorities established under Title 41 of the U.S. Code. See 41 U.S.C. § 4103, 4106. Ryan, one of the multiple award contract holders, challenges the order essentially arguing that the agency misevaluated the proposals submitted in response to the task order request. We dismiss the protest because it is not within our jurisdiction. In 1994, the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act (FASA) established a bar against protests concerning military and civilian agency task and delivery orders issued under multiple-award IDIQ contracts, with the exception of those protests alleging that an order increases the scope, period, or maximum value of an underlying IDIQ
