The General Accounting Office (GAO) today issued the following
Decisions and Opinions of the Comptroller General:
Bid Protest Decisions:
-  National Projects, Inc., B-283887, January 19, 2000
 
http://www.gao.gov/decisions/bidpro/283887.htm
   National Projects, Inc. (NPI) protests the cancellation after bid
   opening of invitation for bids (IFB) No. DACA63-99-B-0030, issued
   by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District, for
   construction of a railhead at Fort Hood in Texas. NPI, the low
   bidder under the IFB, maintains that the agency had no compelling
   reason to cancel and convert the IFB to a negotiated procurement.
   NPI also argues that the subsequent discussions were flawed.
   We deny the protest.
-  E.L. Hamm & Associates, Inc., B-280766.5, December 29, 1999
 
http://www.gao.gov/decisions/bidpro/2807665.htm
   E.L. Hamm & Associates, Inc. protests the proposed award of a
   cost-plus-award-fee contract to Computer Systems International,
   Inc. (CSI) by the Department of the Army, under request for
   proposals (RFP) No. DABT60-98-R-0014, for storage and warehouse
   services at the Army Training Support Center, Fort Eustis,
   Virginia. The award followed a reevaluation undertaken by the
   Army in response to an earlier protest, E.L. Hamm & Assocs.,
   Inc., B-280766.3, Apr. 12, 1999, 99-1 CPD &para; 85, against the
   award to Communication Technologies, Inc. (Comtek). We sustained
   Hamm's earlier protest because we found that the cost realism
   evaluation was flawed. We concluded that it was unreasonable of
   the agency to accept Comtek's proposed use of employees in a
   particular labor category to perform certain tasks, and that the
   evaluation record contained no support for the agency's
   acceptance of Comtek's proposed overhead rate. Id. at 10. We
   recommended, among other things, that the Army hold discussions
   with all competitive range offerors, request and evaluate final
   revised proposals, and perform a proper cost evaluation,
   including a cost realism analysis. Id. at 10-11. Hamm alleges
   various improprieties with respect to the Army's implementation
   of our recommendation, and contends that the cost realism
   analysis was again flawed; as a result, the protester alleges,
   the cost/technical tradeoff was unreasonable.

The General Accounting Office (GAO) today issued the following
Decisions and Opinions of the Comptroller General:
Bid Protest Decisions:
-  MG Industries, B-283010.3, January 24, 2000
 
http://www.gao.gov/decisions/bidpro/2830103.htm
   MG Industries (MGI) protests the award of contracts to BOC Gases
   and Praxair, Inc. by the National Aeronautics and Space
   Administration (NASA) under request for quotations (RFQ) No.
   10-99-0017, for commercially available liquid oxygen (LO2) and
   liquid nitrogen (LN2). [1] MGI essentially contends that NASA did
   not evaluate offers and select the awardees in accordance with
   the RFQ's stated evaluation scheme. MGI also alleges that BOC's
   offer was unbalanced and should have been rejected.
   We deny the protest.

http://www.gao.gov/decisions/bidpro/2838042.htm
   Matter of: ViON Corporation
   1. Protest that agency improperly issued federal supply schedule
   delivery order to other than the lowest overall cost alternative
   vendor is denied where record shows that, in fact, award was made
   to the low-cost vendor; protester's assertions regarding
   evaluation of quoted prices are simply incorrect.

   otherwise unreasonable.
   We deny the protest.
