Highlights

VanderHouwen & Associates, Inc., of Portland, Oregon, protests the decision by the Department of Energy, Bonneville Power Administration, not to exercise further options under VanderHouwen's blanket purchase agreement (BPA) (No. 75836) for staffing services. Specifically, VanderHouwen challenges the agency's evaluation of vendors' performance--on which the agency relied in deciding not to exercise VanderHouwen's options--asserting that the agency's actions constituted a "procurement process" and rendered those actions subject to GAO's bid protest jurisdiction. Protest at 13-17.

We dismiss the protest.
