         DIGEST

         Protest that delivery order and prior contract modification upon which order was
         issued were not within the scope of the original contract is denied where both the
         order and the earlier modification were within the scope of the contract as awarded.
         DECISION

         Paragon Systems, Inc. protests the Department of the Army's failure to compete
         the procurement for network engineering services in support of the billet structure
         management information system (BSMIS) at the U.S. Army, Communications and
         Electronics Command Technology Applications Office (TAO). The Army issued
         delivery order No. 47 for these services to Halifax Corporation under the agency's
         indefinite -delivery/indefinite -quantity (ID/IQ) contract, No. DAAB07-97-D-3001, with
         Halifax. Paragon contends that the services called for under the delivery order are
         not within the scope of the Halifax contract and that the requirement should have
         been competed or properly justified as a noncompetitive award.

         We deny the protest.

         The Army competitively awarded the ID/IQ contract to Halifax on March 21, 1997.
         Halifax Contract, Standard Form 33. As discussed in some detail below, the RFP
