         DIGEST

         Protesters' challenges to the exclusion of their proposals from a competition for the
         placement of a task order are dismissed because the statutory grant of jurisdiction
         to the Government Accountability Office 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, has expired.
         DECISION

         Analytic Strategies LLC, of Vienna, Virginia, and Gemini Industries, Inc., of
         Burlington, Massachusetts, protest the exclusion of their proposals from further
         consideration under task order request (TOR) number GSC-QFOB-16-32998,
         issued by the General Services Administration (GSA), for mission support services
         for the Joint Improvised-Threat Defeat Agency (JIDA).

         We dismiss the protests because they are not within our jurisdiction.

         JIDA is the most recent incarnation of the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat
         Organization (JIEDDO), which was established in 2006 as a Deputy Secretary of
         Defense-directed initiative with the mission to rapidly provide solutions to defeat the
         enemy's improvised threat campaign and save the lives of service members
         deployed fighting insurgent networks that employ improvised threats as a strategic
         weapon of choice. TOR, Section C, Performance Work Statement, at C-1. On
         March 11, 2015, the Deputy Secretary of Defense directed the establishment of
         JIEDDO as a defense agency and designated JIEDDO as a combat support
