D.C. 20548 B-176206 December 21, 1972 0 995377 Lewis, Mitchell & Moore Attorneys at Law Suite 440 600 New Hampshire Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20037 Attention: John B. Tieder, Jr., Esq. Gentlemen: Further reference is made to your protest on behalf of Nationwide Building Maintenance, Inc. (Nationride), under Invitations for Bids (I=-s) Nos. DAIC-30-72-B-0107 and -0138, issued by the Military District of Washington, Cameron Station, Alexandria, Virginia. Originally you had protested against any award to other than your firm under four FBs issuled by the same command, but two of the protests were withdrawn inasmuch as your client received the awards under those solicitations. The s7:ject invitations solicited bids for supplying custodial services at the Tri-Service Barracks, Fort Meyer, Virginia, and 16 buildings at Fort McNair, respectively, for the period of July 1, 1972, through June 30, 1973. Award has been made under IFB 0107 to Kentucky Building Maintenance, Inc. (Kentucky), and to Kleen-Rite Janitorial Services, Inc., under I- 0133, notwithstanding the protest. In this regard, you ques- tion whether the Department of the Army has followed the require- ments of sections 2-407.8(b)(2) & (3) of the Armed Services Pro- curement Regulation (ASPR) in making the referenced aw.ards, While it is regrettable that you did not learn of the award under IMB 0107 until August 25, 1972, our Office was informally advised of the Army's iintention to make the award on July 27, 1972, which notification ias ibllowled by our receipt on August 1, 1972, of copies of the written determination to make the award on the ground of urgency. Simmilar reasons were given for the award on October 20, 1972, under IB 0138, which action you have protested directly to the Arny. We therefore have no basis to qucstion the awarding of the contracts prior to the resolution of your protest, as it appeares that the referenced regulations were followed. PUL(iSHED C 52 Comp.en
