Matter of:   Global Dynamics, LLC

File:        B-417776

Date:        October 23, 2019

Edward J. Tolchin, Offit Kurman Attorneys At Law, for the protester.
Colonel Patricia S. Wiegman-Lenz, Heather M. Mandelkehr, Esq., Rachell Reilly, Esq.,
and Alexis J. Bernstein, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the agency.
Christopher Alwood, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

1. Protest that task order proposal request for medical services exceeds the scope of
the underlying multiple-award indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contracts is denied
where the record shows that services were reasonably encompassed within the
contract's scope of work.

2. GAO lacks jurisdiction to consider protest alleging that the agency improperly denied
the protester a fair opportunity to compete for a task order, where value of the task
order is less than $25 million.
DECISION

Global Dynamics, LLC, a small business of Columbia, Maryland, protests the terms of
task order proposal request (TOPR) No. FA2823-19-R-6022, issued by the Department
of the Air Force for the provision of 11 health care workers to provide medical services
at Eglin Air Force Base (AFB) Medical Treatment Facility Surgical Clinic. Global
Dynamics argues that the TOPR is beyond the scope of its underlying indefinite-
delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract and that the agency failed to provide it a fair
opportunity to compete for the task order.

We deny the protest in part and dismiss it in part.

BACKGROUND

On October 23, 2017, the Defense Health Agency (DHA) awarded 36 IDIQ contracts,
including one to Global Dynamics, pursuant to request for proposals (RFP) No.
