Matter of:   Erickson Helicopters, Inc.

File:        B-415176.3; B-415176.5

Date:        December 11, 2017

Susan Warshaw Ebner, Esq., Jacqueline R. Scott, Esq., and Sean D. Lee, Esq.,
Fortney & Scott, LLC, for the protester.
C. Peter Dungan, Esq., Raymond F. Monroe, Esq., Stephen P. Ramaley, Esq., and
Christopher S. Denny, Esq., Miles & Stockbridge P.C., for the intervenor.
Lieutenant Colonel Kevin P. Stiens, Department of the Air Force, for the agency.
Young S. Lee, Esq., and Peter H. Tran, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,
participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

1. Protest challenging agency's proposed corrective action is dismissed as premature
where the protester merely anticipates improper, prejudicial agency action.

2. Protest that task order for airlift support services exceeds the scope of the awardee's
underlying indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract is denied where the record
shows that services were reasonably encompassed within the contract's scope of work
and the protester's allegations are based on facts not reflected in the record.

3. GAO lacks jurisdiction to consider protest alleging that task order was improperly
issued on a sole-source basis, where value of the task order is less than $25 million.
DECISION

Erickson Helicopters, Inc., (Erickson) of Portland, Oregon, challenges the corrective
action taken by the United States Transportation Command, (USTRANSCOM,
hereinafter, the agency) in response to a protest filed by another company, AAR Airlift
Group, Inc. (AAR), to a task order that was issued to Berry Aviation, Inc. (Berry), of San
Marcos, Texas, under request for task order proposal (RFTOP)-01 for personnel
recovery (PR), casualty evacuation (CASEVAC), and airdrop services in various regions
of the African continent. Erickson also challenges the agency's issuance of an interim,
sole-source task order No. HTC711-17-F-R015 (TO-R015) to Berry for similar services
requested under RFTOP-01.
