       its behalf protesting, against &-proposed avardtof a contract to
       Southern AitTransportj Incorporated (SAT), byf he United States
       Air Force under requevts for proposa.l flo. F116P6-73-R-O318 and
       -0019, issued by tho Hilitary Airlift Cnoand, Scott Air Force
       Ease, fllinois.

            The solicitations, for domestio cargo airlift$ were ienued
       pursuait to a Class Determinations and Findings signed by the
       Secretary of the Air Force, whih authorized the negotiation of
       contracts under 10 UoS.C 2304(a)(16) in support of the Depart-
       ment of Defense airlift mobilization bas. program. Proposals
       were received from Saturn, SAT, end Overseas Nationa2 Airways,
       Incorporated (0UA), The Air Force has aiarded contracts worth
       spproxitely $18.2 million to Saturn and 416.3  iflion to QUA,
       and proposes to award a contract to SAT fo: approximatoly 3*38
       million. The proposed contract would call for airlift services
       vorth $1.1 million through December 1973, and1 additional, services
       vortb t2.7 iLon starting ;kn January 1974.

            You claim that any award to OAT would be improper because
       that cc=pany is owned and controlled by a Qqvorrlat agency and,
       therefore, ie not a qualified offerore You further claim that
       the situation is not changed beozuse of thi existence of an
       agreanent to transfer ovnership of SAT to * private individual,
       since the sgrecnent provides that it will not take effect until
       it is approved by the Civil Aeronautics Board. In sddition, you
       aasert that the proposed trenufer of ownership would not be in
       accordance with the laws and repuvlatons dealing with dispeaI. of
       overmnent property.
