Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to Decision a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: Meridian Knowledge Solutions, LLC File: B-420906 Date: November 2, 2022 Lucas T. Hanback, Esq., Robert S. Metzger, Esq., Dennis J. Callahan, Esq., Alexandria Tindall Webb, Esq., and Cindy Lopez, Esq., Rogers Joseph O'Donnell, PC, for the protester. James Y. Boland, Esq., and Allison M. Siegel, Esq., Venable LLP, for PowerTrain, Inc., the intervenor. James Muetzel, Esq., Office of Personnel Management, for the agency. Uri R. Yoo, Esq., and Alexander O. Levine, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest asserting that task order requirements are beyond the scope of the underlying indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract is denied where the record shows the services sought were reasonably encompassed within the contract's scope of work and the protester's allegations are based on facts not reflected in the record. 2. Protester is not an interested party to challenge agency's award of a transition contract on a noncompetitive basis where the protester would be ineligible for award even if the protest was sustained and the contract was awarded on a competitive basis. DECISION Meridian Knowledge Solutions, LLC, a small business of Arlington, Virginia, protests the issuance of a task order to PowerTrain, Inc., a small business of Landover, Maryland, by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) under indefinite-delivery, indefinite- quantity (IDIQ) contract No. 24361820D0001, and protests OPM's award of a follow- on transition contract to PowerTrain on a sole-source basis. The protester asserts that the requirements of the task order are beyond the scope of the underlying IDIQ contract and also argues that the agency's award of a follow-on transition contract on a sole- source basis was improper. We deny the protest.
