Westfall-McGrail, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Agency's elimination of two vendors from consideration for award based on application of a limitation on future contracting provision, found in two predecessor subcontracts, is not a matter of contract administration. 2. Protest challenging an agency's exclusion of two vendors from consideration for award based on a limitation on future contracting provision is denied where the agency reasonably determined that the provision was applicable to the work sought under the solicitation. DECISION BCMC, LLC, a small business located in Falls Church, Virginia, and Blueprint Consulting Services, LLC, a small business located in Washington, DC, protest the decision by the Department of State (DOS) to exclude their quotations from the competition conducted pursuant to request for quotations (RFQ) No. SAQMMA-16- Q-0137, which contemplates the issuance of a task order under a General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Supply Schedule contract for information technology (IT) governance support services for DOS's Bureau of Consular Affairs, Office of Consular Systems and Technology. Both protesters assert that the agency, in reaching its exclusion decision, unreasonably invoked and applied a limitation on future contracting provision found in the predecessor contract to the instant requirement.
