Summary

Sallie Mae, Inc. of Reston, Virginia protests the Department of Education's modification of contract No. ED-04-CO-0004, awarded to ACS Education Solutions, LLC of Rockville, Maryland for the management of student loans, to include the servicing of loans that the Department will acquire as a result of recently enacted legislation to bolster the student loan credit market. The protester contends that the modification represents an out-of-scope change to the awarded contract and that it results in an improper sole-source award to ACS.

We deny the protest.
