Matter of:   The MayaTech  Corporation

File:        B-419313

Date:     November 9, 2020

Jonathan D. Shaffer, Esq., and Todd M. Garland, Esq., Smith Pachter McWhorter PLC,
for the protester.
Kayleigh Scalzo, Esq., and Michael Pierce, Esq., Covington & Burling, LLP, for National
Opinion Research  Center, the intervenor.
Tami S. Hagberg, Esq., and Anthony E. Marrone, Esq., Department of Health and
Human  Services, for the agency.
Young  H. Cho, Esq., and Peter H. Tran, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,
participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

Protest arguing that the agency improperly increased the scope of the underlying
indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract by failing to follow the evaluation
criteria set forth in the request for task order proposals is dismissed because the
Government  Accountability Office does not have jurisdiction to review the matter; where
the protester's arguments reflect only its disagreement with the manner in which the
agency evaluated the task order proposal and does not otherwise demonstrate that the
task order is outside the scope of the underlying IDIQ contract.
DECISION

The MayaTech   Corporation, of Silver Spring, Maryland, protests the issuance of a task
order to the National Opinion Research Center (NORC), of Chicago, Illinois, under
request for task order proposals (RFTOP) No. 75P00120R00117,  issued by the
Department  of Health and Human Services (HHS), for technical assistance and logistics
support services. MayaTech  argues that the agency failed to provide it with a fair
opportunity to compete and improperly increased the scope of the underlying indefinite-
delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract.


We  dismiss the protest for lack of jurisdiction.
