          Decision


          Matter of: Computers Universal, Inc.

          File:       B-293548

          Date:       April 9, 2004

          Peter Cannon for the protester.
          Maj. Kateni T. Leakehe and Capt. Richard M. Sudder, Department of the Army, for
          the agency.
          Paul N. Wengert, Esq., and Michael R. Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
          GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          Protest that agency obtained services outside scope of broad indefinite-delivery,
          indefinite-quantity contract through delivery order is denied where contract under
          which delivery order was issued contains broad statement of objectives that
          reasonably encompasses services at issue.
          DECISION

          Computers Universal, Inc. (CUI), a small business, protests the decision of the
          Department of the Army to obtain non-destructive inspection (NDI) and
          non-destructive testing (NDT) services in support of Eighth United States Army
          aviation units in Korea through a pre-existing delivery order issued to DynCorp
          under contract No. F34601-97-D-0422, which was awarded by the Department of the
          Air Force.' CUI objects that obtaining NDI/NDT services under the delivery order
          improperly increases the scope of the Air Force contract.

          We deny the protest.



          1 As used here, NDJ/NDT services employ various techniques to determine the
          integrity, composition, physical, electrical, or thermal properties, or dimensions of a
          structure or component without causing a change in any of these characteristics.
          The methods include liquid penetrant, magnetic particle, electromagnetic, ultrasonic,
          and penetrating radiation. Agency Report, Tab 18, Army Technical Manual
