C. 20548 FILE: B-182976 DATE: January 30, 1976 MATTER OF: Design Engineering Company DIGEST: Claim for damages in connection with submission of unsolicited proposal, where offeror anticipated acceptance of proposal which was ultimately returned, is denied, notwithstanding that Air Force delayed in furnishing written reply to offeror, since facts and circumstances indicate that unsolicited propo- sal was fairly and honestly considered. This decision concerns a request by Design Engineering Company (DEC) for reimbursement for damages in the amount of $100,000 in connection with an alleged misappropriation of an unsolicited pro- posal for reducing engineering problems in the R2800 type engine by the Department of the Air Force, United States Air Logistics Center, Kelly Air Force Base, Texas, formerly designated as the San Antonio Air Material Area (Air Force). On January 9, 1974, DEC, a Florida based concern with several years experience in the overhaul and maintenance of aircraft engines and component parts, submitted an unsolicited proposal to the Air Force concerning reduction of engineering problems on R2800 type aircraft engines. By letter dated February 19, 1974, DEC was in- formed by the Air Force that it was very interested in DEC's pro- posal concerning elimination of R2800 reduction gear and torquemeter assemblies failures; however, in this same letter DEC was also in- formed that an evaluation of this unsolicited proposal on its merits would require submission of technical data. Subsequently, by letter dated February 27, 1974, technical data, including drawings in support of its proposal, was submitted to the Air Force by DEC. - 1 -
