DIGEST

Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of the protester's quotation and best-value
tradeoff determination in a task order procurement is dismissed where the protester
does not allege that the agency's issuance of the task order increases the scope,
period, or maximum value of the underlying contract, and where the value of the issued
task order does not exceed the applicable jurisdictional threshold.
DECISION

Expression Networks, LLC, a small business of Washington, D.C., protests the issuance
of task order No. 1605TA-24-F-00016 to Information Gateways, Inc., a small business
of Novi, Michigan, under request for quotations (RFQ) No. 1605TA-24-Q-00011, issued
by the Department of Labor for development, modernization, enhancement, operations
and maintenance, and helpdesk support services for the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration. The protester contends that the agency unreasonably evaluated
its quotation and made an unreasonable best-value tradeoff determination.

We  dismiss the protest.

on December  29, 2023, to firms holding the Department of the Army's Computer
Hardware, Enterprise Software and Solutions (CHESS) Information Technology
