          DIGEST

          Protest that contracting agency improperly awarded a federal supply schedule (FSS)
          task order to an entity that did not have an FSS contract is denied where the
          vendors submitted a contractor team arrangement (CTA) with their proposal as
          required by the solicitation (and as permitted by the procedures of the General
          Services Administration), and where each of the vendors in the team held the FSS
          contract required by the solicitation.
          DECISION

          Brooks Range Contract Services, Inc. (BRCS), protests the award of a task order to
          Urban Services Group, Inc. and Meridian Management Corporation
          (Urban/Meridian) under request for proposals (RFP) No. GS-08P-1 1-JB-C-0028,
          issued by the General Services Administration (GSA) for building management
          services for the David Skaggs Research Center in Boulder, Colorado and the Fort
          Collins Federal Office Building in Fort Collins, Colorado. The protester argues that
          the agency improperly awarded to an entity that does not have a federal supply
          schedule (FSS) 03FAC schedule contract as required by the RFQ.


          1 The 03FAC is a facilities, maintenance and management multiple award schedule
          that provides federal agencies a streamlined procurement device to acquire all of the
          services necessary to maintain and manage a facility. www.gsa gov/schedules.
