          Decision


          Matter of: Doug Boyd Enterprises, LLC

          File:       B-298237.2

          Date:       August 6, 2007

          Eric J. Marcotte, Esq., Krista L. Pages, Esq., Mark A. Smith, Esq., and Nathan C.
          Guerrero, Esq., Winston & Strawn LLP, for the protester.
          John A. Thompson, Esq., Federal Emergency Management Agency, for the agency.

          GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          Protest challenging the issuance of a task order under a multiple-award indefinite-
          delivery, indefinite-quantity contract is dismissed as the award of such task orders
          are not subject to GAO's bid protest jurisdiction, and the order here cannot be
          termed a downselection.
          DECISION

          Doug Boyd Enterprises, LLC (DBE) protests the decision by the Federal Emergency
          Management Agency (FEMA) not to issue DBE a task order under multiple-award,
          indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (ID/JQ) task order contract No. HSFEHQ-06-D-
          0431.

          We dismiss the protest.

          DBE is one of 10 small business contractors who were awarded ID/IQ contracts by
          FEMA in May 2006 for maintenance and deactivation of manufactured homes and
          travel trailers in the southern region of Mississippi. Each ID/IQ contract has a
          5-year term, with a $50,000 minimum guaranteed value and a $100,000,000 maximum
          value. On March 7, 2007, FEMA issued a task order proposal request (TOPR) for the
          issuance of orders to vendors for the agency's Year 2 maintenance and deactivation
          requirements under the ID/IQ contract. The TOPR anticipated issuance of task
          orders with a 6-month base term, and one 6-month option. DBE submitted a
          quotation in response to the TOPR, but was not selected for issuance of a task order
          by FEMA. Following the agency's notice that it was not selected, DBE filed this
          protest.
