DIGEST

Protest that agency's issuance of a small business innovation research (SBIR) phase III
sole-source task order was improper because the work required by the order did not
derive from, extend, or complete a prior SBIR phase I or II agreement is denied where
protester fails to show that the order's requirements do not incorporate any original
concepts, findings, ideas, or research results generated through performance of a prior
SBIR  phase I or II contract.
DECISION

ASRC   Federal Data Network Technologies, LLC (AFDNT), a small business of McLean,
Virginia, protests the issuance of a small business innovation research (SBIR) phase III
sole-source task order to American Systems Corporation, of Chantilly, Virginia, by the
Defense  Health Agency (DHA) for the modernization of an existing military healthcare
delivery system. AFDNT  contends that the agency's phase III order was improper
because  it did not derive from, extend, or complete a prior SBIR phase I or II agreement
performed by American Systems.


We  deny the protest.
