Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States ....................................................................................................................... DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to Decision a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: Leupold Stevens, Inc. File: B-417796 Date: October 30, 2019 Alix Town, Esq., Oles Morrison Rinker & Baker, LLP, for the protester. W. Jay DeVecchio, Esq., Kevin P. Mullen, Esq., and Allisandra D. Young, Esq., Morrison & Foerster LLP, for the intervenor. Randall Kemplin, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Stephanie B. Magnell, Esq., and Amy B. Pereira, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that contract modification seeks services beyond the scope of the underlying contract is sustained, where the modification includes changes prohibited by the contract and the modification causes a material increase in the contract's value. DECISION Leupold Stevens, Inc., of Beaverton, Oregon, protests a modification to a contract held by Sig Sauer, Inc., of Newington, New Hampshire, which was issued by the Department of the Navy, Navy Surface Warfare Center, for purchase of the second focal plane squad variable powered scope (S-VPS). 1 The challenged modification is for the purchase and installation of the Horus T-8 glass-etched internal reticle in the Sig Sauer S-VPS. Leupold argues that the modification is outside the scope of Sig Sauer's awarded contract. We sustain the protest. 1 The S-VPS is a low profile, wide field of view, passive scope for near-range engagements out to and beyond the maximum effective range of the weapon system, for small arms employed by Special Operations Forces (SOF). Agency Report (AR), Tab 6A, Contract Business Clearance Memorandum (BCM) at 1. The S-VPS includes a non-caliber specific reticle, is variable power, and incorporates an illuminated aim- point. Id. at 10.
