B-290595 1 (2002-08-02)

handle is hein.gao/gaocrptaoge0001 and id is 1 raw text is: G A 0 Comptroller General Accountability * Integrity* Reliability of the United States United States General Accounting Office Washington, DC 20548 Decision Matter of: Flight Safety International File: B-290595 Date: August 2, 2002 William J. Nugent for the protester. Maj. Leslea T. Pickle and Maj. Deborah L. Collins, Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Katherine I. Riback, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that solicitation for pilot training is defective because it lacks a separate contract line item number (CLIN) for the cost of flight simulator modifications is denied where the agency provided sufficient information in the solicitation to allow offerors to reasonably use their business judgment to amortize and recover the costs of such modifications in its CLINs covering the pilot training. DECISION Flight Safety International protests the decision of the Department of the Air Force to issue request for proposals (RFP) No. F41689-02-R-0008 for academic and simulator C-2 IA pilot training without a separate contract line item number (CLIN) to address the contractor's cost for outfitting its Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Level C configured cockpit flight simulators with a C-21A configured cockpit. Flight Safety contends that this approach places an unreasonable amount of risk on the offerors. We deny the protest. A draft RFP for a follow-on contract for C-2 IA academic and simulator pilot training was issued on February 12, 2002. The pilot training included both classroom and simulator instruction. The contractor would be required to conduct training at its own facility using a contractor-furnished flight simulator with the capability for C- 21A configuration. The contractor would also be responsible for developing and using computer-aided instruction software in its classroom presentations and in student self-study.
