DIGEST

Protester is not an interested party to allege improprieties in agency's exercise of an
option extending a contract for parachute training courses, where, even if the protest
were sustained, protester cannot meet the required security clearance requirements
and therefore would not be eligible for award of the requirement if it were recompeted.
DECISION

Win Aviation, Inc., a small business of Dekalb, Illinois, protests the decision of the Naval
Special Warfare Command   (NSWC)  on behalf of the United States Special Operations
Command   (USSOCOM), to   exercise an option under task order No. H9224022F0392,
awarded  to Rampart Aviation, LLC, of Colorado Springs, Colorado, for Navy parachute
courses. The protester argues that the agency's exercise of the option improperly failed
to comply with regulatory requirements.

We  dismiss the protest because the protester is not an interested party.
