Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that agency improperly awarded bridge contract on sole-source basis is denied where award of long-term contract for same services was delayed by litigation and agency reasonably determined that only incumbent contractor was in a position to perform the services. DECISION Chapman Law Firm Company, LPA protests the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) sole-source award of a bridge contract to Michaelson, Conner and Boul, Inc. (MCB) under request for proposals (RFP) No. R-PHI-00947, for single family home management and marketing (M & M) services.' Chapman primarily alleges that the sole-source award was necessitated solely by a lack of advance planning by the agency, and therefore is improper. We deny the protest. On August 6, 2003, HUD issued an RFP for M & M services for single family homes throughout the United States. The RFP sought to award 24 indefinite-delivery, 1 M & M services are an ongoing requirement for daily oversight of HUD-controlled housing, including inspections, security, and repairs, as well as sales, closings, and accounting activities.
