Sauber, Esq., and Steven W. DeGeorge, Esq., for the protester. Anthony L. Cogswell, Esq., for Sprint Communications Company, L.P., an intervenor. H. Jack Shearer, Esq., and Clifton M. Hasegawa, Esq., Defense Information Systems Agency, for the agency. Katherine I. Riback, Esq., and Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest alleging that agency improperly terminated protester's contract is not for consideration as it concerns a matter of contract administration not within General Accounting Office bid protest function. 2. Protest against the sole-source award of a contract for telecommunications circuit is denied where the contracting agency reasonably determined that only the proposed awardee was capable of meeting the agency's urgent delivery requirement. DECISION AT&T Corporation protests the Defense Information Systems Agency, Defense Information Technology Contracting Office's (DITCO) termination for convenience of the firm's contract, for a point-to-point private line telecommunications circuit for an estimated 24-month period, and the agency's determination to reprocure this requirement under contract with Sprint Communications Company, L.P. AT&T argues that DITCO's actions improperly deprived it of an opportunity to furnish the circuit, and constituted an unjustified sole-source procurement from Sprint. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND On September 7, 1995, DITCO received a telecommunications service order for a point-to-point telecommunications circuit between Fort McPherson, Georgia, and Fort Hood, Texas. The service order required that service be established by October 16 and specified that the service date is critical. The circuit was to support an Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) exercise involving more than 200 personnel at various locations throughout the country. DITCO was 833228
