handle is hein.gao/gaocrptaebg0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: Crown Healthcare Laundry Services, Inc. File: B-270827; B-270827.2 Date: April 30, 1996 Jesse W. Rigby, Esq., Clark, Partington, Hart, Larry, Bond, Stackhouse & Stone, for the protester. Gregory H. Petkoff, Esq., and Kirkland D. Foster, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Peter A. Jannicelli, Esq., and Michael R. Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that the Air Force improperly conducted a cost comparison between the Department of Veterans Affair's (VA) and the protester's offers to do laundry services to justify the Air Force's decision to convert laundry services contract to performance by the VA under interagency sharing agreement is denied where the protest fails to show that the Air Force's methodology was unreasonable or inconsistent with Office of Management and Budget Circular No. A-76. DECISION Crown Healthcare Laundry Services, Inc. (Crown) protests the Air Force's decision to have the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) perform laundry services for Keesler Air Force Base (Keesler), as solicited under invitation for bids (IFB) No. F22600-95-B-0030, rather than to continue to contract with Crown for those services. The Air Force decision to have the VA do the work was based upon an Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular No. A-76 comparison of the estimated cost of VA performance with Crown's bid price. Crown contends that the cost comparison was flawed for various reasons discussed below.1 1The protester raised numerous arguments and provided details in its two appeals to the Air Force and in its protests before our Office. We reviewed the entire record, considered all of the arguments, and found no basis for sustaining the protests. We will discuss only the dispositive arguments in this decision. 418430
