Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Washington, DC 20548 The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Logan, LLC File: B-294974.6 Date: December 1, 2006 Carolyn Callaway, Esq., for the protester. James E. Hicks, Esq., Drug Enforcement Administration, for the agency. Louis A. Chiarella, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Statutory requirement to obtain maximum practicable competition in simplified acquisitions is met where agency uses competitive procedures in establishing blanket purchase agreements (BPA) with multiple vendors; under those circumstances, there is no requirement that the agency conduct a further competition among the BPA holders in connection with each individual purchase order subsequently issued under the BPAs. 2. Challenge to agency's decisions made after competitive establishment of BPAs regarding whether and how to place orders with specific BPA holders concerns administration of the BPAs, an issue not for review in a bid protest before the Government Accountability Office. DECISION Logan, LLC (formerly known as Envirosolve, LLC)' protests the decision by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Department of Justice, to exclude it from the rotation of purchase orders under blanket purchase agreements (BPA) established with various vendors for hazardous waste cleanup services. Envirosolve argues that 'Although Envirosolve, LLC changed its name to Logan LLC, Protest, Aug. 24, 2006, at 2 n. 1, DEA declined to accept a proposed novation agreement for reasons not relevant to the protest here. Agency Report (AR), Sept. 25, 2006, at 1 n. 1. As the parties both refer to the vendor by its former name, we will refer to the protester as Envirosolve for the balance of this decision.
