         DIGEST

         Where value of bridge task order issued by agency is less than $10 million, GAO
         lacks jurisdiction to consider protest alleging that agency improperly issued order on
         a sole-source basis.
         DECISION

         Serco Inc., of Reston, Virginia, protests the Department of the Army's issuance of
         bridge task order (TO) No. W91WAW-1 1 -D-0031-2E21, for support of the
         Installation Management Command Army OneSource Outreach Program, to Armed
         Forces Services Corp. (AFSC), of Arlington, Virginia. The protester contends that
         (1) issuance of the bridge task order constituted an improper de facto override of
         the automatic stay of performance triggered by the Competition in Contracting Act,
         31 U.S.C. § 3553(c) (2006) in connection with a prior protest filed by Serco, and
         (2) the agency issued the task order on a sole-source basis without making an
         appropriate determination that the use of other than competitive procedures was
         justified.

         We dismiss the protest because it is not within our jurisdiction.

         On September 29, 2014, the Army notified the protester, which was the
         incumbent provider of the services, that it had issued an order (TO No.
