   OF   THE UNITED STATES

FILE:   B-182882                   DATE:    June 12, 1975

MATTER OF: Wheeler Brothers, Inc.


DIGEST:

    Parts procurement IFB clause which provides that,
    under cost-reimbursement segment of contract, con-
    tractor will not be able to furnish parts to Govern-
    ment at price which includes markup from affiliates is
    unduly restrictive and unreasonably derived, since pro-
    vision would reduce likelihood that contractor would buy
    from affiliates and ASPR guidelines recognize affiliates
    entitlement to recover more than cost in comparable
    situations where there is price competition as clause
    contemplates.


    The  subject protest concerns invitation for bids (IFB) F65501-
75-0-9030, which was issued by Elmendorf Air Force Base for a
contractor-operated on-base automotive parts store (COPARS).

     Award is to be made to the responsive, responsible bidder who
submits the lowest total price for price listed auto parts and opera-
tion of the COPAR store during the estimated number of nonduty hours.

     The contract also will require the successful bidder to supply
nonprice listed items * * * at the contractor's net invoice cost
after prompt payment discount and any applicable prorated share of
supplier's volume rebate, plus the service charge shown below plus
transportation charges. The amount-of the monthly service charge
paid will be determined by the amount of the contractor's net invoice
cost after prompt payment discount as follows:


MONTHLY DOLLAR COST

$   100.01
    500.01
  1,000.01
