          Decision


          Matter of: Anteon Corporation

          File:       B-293523; B-293523.2

          Date:       March 29, 2004

          John R. Tolle, Esq., and William T. Welch, Esq., Barton, Baker, McMahon, Hildebrant
          & Tolle, for the protester.
          Maria Bellizzi, Esq., General Services Administration, and Jennifer R. Seifert, Esq.,
          Government Printing Office, for the agencies.
          Sharon L. Larkin, Esq., and Ralph 0. White, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
          GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          Protest that task order request for electronic passport covers is outside the scope of
          General Services Administration's (GSA) indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity,
          multiple-award contract for Smart Identification Cards (Smart Card) is sustained,
          where GSA's Smart Card contract contemplates the purchase of credit card-sized
          plastic cards, while the task order here contemplates the purchase of cloth cover
          sheets for electronic passports with embedded integrated circuit chip inlays that are
          significantly larger in size than a Smart Card and are manufactured using different
          materials; task order requirements for adhesive and travel are also not included in
          GSA's Smart Card contract.
          DECISION

          Anteon Corporation protests the issuance of task order request (TOR) No.
          BA24076GPS by the General Services Administration (GSA) for electronic passport
          covers under the agency's Smart Identification Card (Smart Card) contact. Anteon
          contends that electronic passport covers are outside the scope of the Smart Card
          contract.


We sustain the protest.
