DIGEST Protests that task order request for proposals seeks services beyond the scope of the underlying multiple-award, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts are sustained, where the protesters could not have reasonably anticipated that the agency would seek to procure air tanker flight services for extended, guaranteed periods at specific locations when the IDIQ contracts are limited to air tanker flight services on an as-needed, on-call basis. DECISION Western Pilot Service (WPS), a small business of Phoenix, Arizona; Aerial Timber Applicators, Inc., (ATA) a small business of Cooperstown, North Dakota; Evergreen Flying Services, Inc., a small business of Rayville, Louisiana; and G.B. Aerial Applications, Inc., (GBAA) a small business of Plains, Texas, protest the terms of a task order request for proposals (TORP) issued by the Department of the Interior (DOI), Interior Business Center, for single engine air tanker (SEAT) flight services to support the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) wildfire suppression operations in the continental United States. The protesters assert that the SEAT flight services sought under the TORP for extended, guaranteed periods of performance are beyond the scope of the protesters' indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts.
