          Decision


          Matter of: Petchem Incorporated

          File:       B-287071.3

          Date:       August 1, 2001

          Robert G. Fryling, Esq., and Edward J. Hoffman, Esq., Blank Rome Comisky &
          McCauley, for the protester.
          Edward J. Tolchin, Esq., Fettmann, Tolchin & Majors, for Universal Yacht Services,
          Inc., an intervenor.
          Robert M. Elwell, Esq., and George N. Brezna, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the
          agency.
          Linda S. Lebowitz, Esq., and Michael R. Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
          GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          Where the solicitation did not require an offeror's proposed personnel transfer vessel
          to be outfitted and configured to comply with material solicitation requirements at
          the time of award, but rather provided a 40-day post-award period for compliance,
          agency reasonably selected the awardee's lower-priced, technically equal proposal
          for award.
          DECISION

          Petchem Incorporated protests the award of a contract to Universal Yacht Services,
          Inc. (UYS) under request for proposals (RFP) No. N00033-00-R-1033, issued by the
          Department of the Navy, Military Sealift Command, for a personnel transfer vessel
          (PTV) which will be used to conduct open ocean transfers of passengers and cargo
          between sea-borne submarines and the shore in the area of Port Canaveral, Florida.
          Petchem contends that UYS should not have been eligible for award because its
          proposed PTV did not satisfy material solicitation requirements at the time of award.
