GAO Cannot Consider Task Order Protest, Even When Awarded for DoD Agency; GAO B-413758.2, Analytic Strategies LLC; Gemini Industries Inc.

Protests challenging the exclusion of protesters’ proposals from a competition for the placement of a task order are dismissed, because the Government Accountability Office lacks jurisdiction to consider protests in connection with task and delivery orders valued above $10 million, issued under civilian agency multiple-award indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts, even when the task order is awarded on behalf of the Department of Defense.
