Protest challenging the issuance of modifications to a task order under an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (ID/IQ) contract as being beyond the scope of the task order is dismissed; Government Accountability Office lacks jurisdiction to consider whether a modification is beyond the scope of the task order. 2. Protest that the agency improperly bundled work requirements previously performed by separate small businesses by means of the modification of an ID/IQ task order being performed by a small business is dismissed given the statutory bar on protests concerning the issuance of task orders. DECISION Global Computer Enterprises, Inc. (GCE) protests the decision of the U.S. Coast Guard, Department of Homeland Security, to obtain federal financial information technology support services through modifications to a task order issued to QSS Group, Inc. under a multiple-award, indefinite-delivery/indefinite quantity (ID/IQ) contract. GCE principally maintains that these services are beyond the scope of QSS's task order, and that by acquiring them under the task order, the Coast Guard has engaged in improper bundling. We dismiss the protest.
