handle is hein.gao/gaocrptadvq0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: Sunrise International Group, Inc. File: B-266357 Date: February 12, 1996 Ray E. Baker, Sunrise International Group, Inc., for the protester. Captain Philip T. McCaffrey and William T. Stark, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency. Paul E. Jordan, Esq., Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., and Paul Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Agency properly accepted bid submitted under the bidder's trade name, instead of the formal corporate name, where the actual bidder's identity was so clear that the firm would not be able to avoid its contract bid obligations if the bid were accepted. 2. Agency properly awarded a contract to the low bidder's successor in interest where the original bidder sold the entire portion of its business embraced by the bid after bid opening and prior to award. DECISION Sunrise International Group, Inc. protests the award of a contract to the Ramada Hotel, Warren, Michigan under invitation for bids (IFB) No. DAKF61-95-B-0042, issued by the Department of the Army. Sunrise asserts that the award to the Ramada was improper for a variety of reasons, including alleged ambiguities regarding the bidder's identity and an allegedly improper substitution of bidders. We deny the protest. The Army issued the IFB on July 5, 1995, seeking bids to furnish meals, lodging, and transportation for applicants to the Military Entrance Processing Station in Detroit, Michigan. The IFB was a 100-percent small business set-aside for a 1-year base period (October 1, 1995 through September 30, 1996), with a 1-year option period. Four bids were submitted by the August 4 bid opening date. The Ramada, the incumbent contractor, submitted a bid of $409,246. Sunrise submitted a bid of $580,799. The other two bidders were found ineligible due to their status as other than small business concerns. 828212
