C. 20548 FILE: B-186401 DATE: August 26, 1976 MATTER OF: Supreme Beef Processors, Inc. DIGEST: Rejection of low offer under RFP was improper without conducting discussions with offeror who submitted offer on interchangeable basis (If not low inter- change Lot 206 with 204) and RFP contained no pro- hibition against such pricing. However, as contract has been fully performed, no corrective action is possible but GAO agrees with recommendation of procur- ing agency that future solicitations contain inter- changeable price prohibition if found to be in Government's best interest. Supreme Beef Processors, Inc. (Supreme), has protested the rejection of its offer under request for proposals (RFP) No. DSAl3H- 76-R-1445, issued by the Defense Personnel Support Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The RFP was for differing quantities of beef for various instal- lations around the country. Supreme submitted the following offer in response to the RFP for the lots under protest: Lot 201 Ground $0.8389 202 Ground 0.8486 203 Ground 0.8456 204 Patties 0.8656 205 Patties 0.8785 206 Patties 0.8556 If Not Low Interchange Lot 206 with 204 If Not Low Interchange 201 with 202 Supreme's offer for lot 206 was not low and award was made to another firm. Lot 204 was awarded to another bidder and Supreme contends that its offer on lot 206 ($0.8556) should have been considered for lot 204 where it would have been low and award made to Supreme. - 1 -
