Protesters Correctly Eliminated from Competition Where Their Subcontracts Incorporated Limitation on Future Contracting; GAO B-413988.2, BCMC LLC; Blueprint Consulting Services LLC

Agency’s request to dismiss a protest challenging the elimination of the protesters’ quotations from consideration for award is denied, where the agency’s invocation of the limitation on future contracting provision in an existing contract is a procurement action, not a matter of contract administration, because neither protester was a direct party to the predecessor contract; and protests challenging the agency’s exclusion of two vendors from consideration for award based on a limitation on future contracting provision is denied, where the subcontracts awarded to the protesters incorporated this provision and where the protesters sought to bid on work that was related to the work performed under the predecessor contract.
