handle is hein.gao/gaocrptaucd0001 and id is 1 raw text is: A G A O Comptroller General . Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 Decision Matter of: Allmond & Company File: B-298946 Date: January 9, 2007 Ira E. Hoffman, Esq., Hoffman & Associates, P.C., for the protester. Sheryl A. Butler, Esq., Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Administration, for the agency. Linda S. Lebowitz, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST When conducting a procurement under the Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) program, contracting agency satisfies applicable statutory and regulatory competition requirements when it solicits quotations from at least three FSS contractors able to meet the agency's needs; the agency is not required to solicit the incumbent FSS contractor to participate in the competition. DECISION Allmond & Company protests the failure of the Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), to provide it a copy of request for quotations (RFQ) No. 06-FN-0055, issued under the General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) program for accounting support services. Allmond, the incumbent FSS contractor, has provided these services to DEA since 2001. Allmond maintains that DEA improperly failed to solicit the firm for the follow-on requirements. We deny the protest. In 2001, DEA established a blank purchase agreement (BPA) with Allmond under its FSS contract No. GS-25F-01 1 IL for financial and accounting services for the period of April 24, 2001 through April 23, 2006. Task orders were issued under the BPA on an annual basis. On September 23, 2005, via modification No. 4, the agency extended Allmond's BPA through September 29, 2006.
