IDIQ Expressly Provided Agency Could Bypass Fair Opportunity Procedures; GAO B-417166, Black & Veatch Special Projects Corporation

Protest arguing the agency improperly bypassed the fair opportunity procedures in the protester’s IDIQ contract is dismissed as untimely, where the solicitation and the contract expressly provided the agency could make direct awards to any category of small or small disadvantaged business, and any challenge to this language had to be made prior to the submission of proposals.
