handle is hein.gao/gaobadvpa0001 and id is 1 raw text is: GAO U.S. GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE 441 G St. N.W. Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This version has been Decisionapproved for public release. D e c is ioni n----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------............. Matter of: Adams and Associates, Inc. File: B-417249 Date: February 26, 2019 Katie A. Calogero, Esq., Anne B. Perry, Esq., and Ariel E. Debin, Esq., Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP, for the protester. Jose Otero, Esq., and Dennis A. Adelson, Esq., Department of Labor, for the agency. Evan D. Wesser, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest alleging that a proposed task order is outside of the scope of the underlying indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract is dismissed where the protester effectively challenges the agency's decision not to exercise an available option on its incumbent contract, and therefore raises a matter of contract administration not for our consideration as part of our bid protest function. 2. Protest alleging that the agency's selection of a contract vehicle was made in bad faith is dismissed because the protester's allegation involves the proposed award of a task order valued at less than $10 million, and therefore the protest is outside of our Office's jurisdiction to consider protests of the award or proposed award of a task order under an IDIQ contract. DECISION Adams and Associates, Inc., of Reno, Nevada, protests the decision of the Department of Labor (DOL) to obtain services for the operation of the Woodstock Job Corps Center and Career Transition Services in Woodstock, Maryland, under a multiple award, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract. Adams, the incumbent contractor for the services at issue, asserts that the proposed task order is beyond the scope of the underlying IDIQ contract. The protester also alleges that DOL's selection of the specific IDIQ contract is tainted by bad faith because DOL selected the contract vehicle because Adams is ineligible to compete for the task order. We dismiss the protest.
