          File:        B-290682

          Date:        September 18, 2002

          Frank Moody for the protester.
          Capt. Charles K. Bucknor, Ralph J. Frick, Esq., and Raymond M. Saunders, Esq.,
          Department of the Army, and Audrey H. Liebross, Esq., and John W. Klein, Esq.,
          Small Business Administration, for the agencies.
          Guy R. Pietrovito, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General
          Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          1. The statutory limitation on General Accounting Office's bid protest jurisdiction
          over challenges to the award or proposed award of a task order under an indefinite-
          delivery/indefinite-quantity contract does not apply to a protest challenging the
          transfer to that contract vehicle of an acquisition for services that had been
          previously set aside exclusively for small businesses without regard to the Federal
          Acquisition Regulation § 19.502-2(b) requirements pertaining to small business
          set-asides; this is a challenge to the terms of the underlying solicitation.

          2. Protest that the transfer of the acquisition of motor pool transportation services at
          a particular installation to a multiple-award, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity
          (ID/IQ) task order contract violates the requirement in Federal Acquisition
          Regulation § 19.502-2(b) to set aside acquisitions for small businesses where there is
          a reasonable expectation of receiving fair market price offers from at least two
          responsible small business concerns is sustained, where the record shows that the
          agency did not consider the application of this regulation in transferring the
          acquisition of these services to the ID/IQ contract, even though this work had been
          set aside for small businesses, and there were at least two small businesses who
          have performed these services.
          DECISION

          LBM, Inc., a small business concern, protests the decision of the Department of the
          Army Atlanta Contracting Center (AACC) to acquire transportation motor pool
          services at Fort Polk, Louisiana, under the Logistical Joint Administrative
