Protest challenging the agency's justification for not providing multiple-award indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract holders a fair opportunity to be considered for the issuance of a task order is denied where the agency reasonably concluded that urgent circumstances did not permit the agency to conduct a competition and required the issuance of the order on a sole-source basis. 2.
