Kroll, Esq., and Andrew K. Wible, Esq., Cohen Mohr LLP, for the protester. Jonathan D. Shaffer, Esq., John S. Pachter, Esq., Mary Pat Buckenmeyer, Esq., and Richard H. Snyder, Esq., Smith Pachter McWhorter PLC, for Citibank, the intervenor. Virginia Grebasch, Esq., General Services Administration, for the agency. Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST For purposes of determining GAO jurisdiction over challenges to the award of task and delivery order, the term value for a no cost task order for third party payment services for transportation service providers (TSP) includes the anticipated transaction fees that the contractor will recover from the TSPs during the term of the contract, including options. However, GAO has no jurisdiction where the anticipated transaction fees of the selected contractor are less than $10 million based on the estimated dollar volume of the total transactions under the order as stated in the solicitation and where the protester did not timely challenge the estimated dollar volume. DECISION U.S. Bank, of Minneapolis, Minnesota, protests the issuance of a task order to Citibank, of New York, New York, by the General Services Administration (GSA) under request for quotes (RFQ) No. FCXC-G1-060001-N for third party payment services. The protester argues that the agency unreasonably evaluated the vendors' costs and technical approaches. We dismiss the protest. This decision addresses whether our Office has jurisdiction to hear a challenge to the issuance of a task order under an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (ID/IQ)
