Matter of: Zodiac of North America, Inc. File: B-414260 Date: March 28, 2017 Stanley R. Soya, Esq., Ellen M. Lynch, Esq., and Anthony C. Scalice, Esq., Baker Botts LLP, for the protester. William A. Wozniak, Esq., and Robert E. Korroch, Esq., Williams Mullen, for Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc., the intervenor. Wade L. Brown, Esq., and Laura K. Anderson, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency. Charmaine A. Stevenson, Esq., and Laura Eyester, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging the agency's modification of a contract is denied where modification of the contract was within scope and of a nature that competitors could have reasonably anticipated at the time of the original award.

Zodiac argues that the Army improperly relaxed the specification requirements such that it will be acquiring materially different boats, and has effectively awarded a sole-source contract to ADS in violation of the Competition in Contracting Act (CICA). We deny the protest.
