Protest against Sole Source Procurement of a Negotiated Requirements Type Term Contract

The protester alleged that the award of a negotiated requirements type term contract on a sole source basis was improper in that the contemplated work was encompassed by two General Services Administration Federal Supply Schedule contracts previously awarded to the protester. The award of the contract to another firm did not infringe on the protester's rights under its supply schedule contracts since the items awarded were clearly outside the scope of their contracts. The decision to procure on a sole source basis was not disturbed since the awardee was the only known source with the capability to satisfy the procuring activity's requirements.
