handle is hein.gao/gaocrptaqxl0001 and id is 1 raw text is: A G A O Comptroller General . Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 Decision Matter of: Sigmatech, Inc. File: B-296401 Date: August 10, 2005 E. Ray McKee, Jr., Esq., for the protester. Vera Meza, Esq., Department of the Army, and Laura Mann Eyester, Esq., Small Business Administration, for the agencies. Sharon L. Larkin, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging bundling of system engineering and support services with other requirements under a single-award blanket purchase agreement (BPA) issued under awardee's Federal Supply Schedule contract is timely, where record does not demonstrate that protester knew of basis for protest until task orders for work, which the protester had previously performed, were issued under the BPA, and the protester filed its protest within 10 days thereafter; GAO resolves doubts regarding timeliness in favor of protesters. 2. Protest challenging bundling of system engineering and support services with other requirements under a single-award BPA issued under awardee's Federal Supply Schedule contract is sustained, where agency failed to perform bundling analysis or satisfy the requirements of Federal Acquisition Regulations § § 7.107 (a), (b); 10.001(c)(2); and 19.202-1. DECISION Sigmatech, Inc. protests the placement of two task orders with Sverdrup Technology, Inc. under blanket purchase agreement (BPA) No. W56HZV-04-A-0005, awarded by the United States Army Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM) for engineering and support services under request for quotations (RFQ) No. DAAE07-03-Q-N287. Sigmatech, a small business contractor that has previously performed system engineering and technical assistance (SETA) support services under a separate contract with another office of the Army, contends that the agency improperly bundled this requirement with other support services performed under the BPA.
