DC. 20548 FILE: B-186232 DATE: November 17, 19'(6 MATTER OF: Service Is Basic, Inc.--Request for Reconsideration DIGEST: Where no errors of law or fact are alleged in prior decision upholdinrA legality of contract award, deci- sion is affirmed. Our decision Service Is Basic, Inc., B-186332, October 1, .1976, concerned the award of a total small business set-aside procurement for laundry services at McGuire Air Force Base. The contract was awarded to the Department of the Army, Fort Dix, New Jersey, after a cost analysis performed by the Air Force indicated that Fort Dix could perform the services more eco- nomically than the commercial firms which submitted bids. A notice of this posstbilicy was contained in the invitation for bids. Service Is Basic, In.., submitted to our Office an analysis which cast doubt upon the realism of the Air Force cost analysis. We concluded that since the decision to contract in-house within the Department of Defense is a macter of executive policy, it is not within the decision function of our Office. However, in view of the doubt cast upon the validity of the cost analysis and the possible detrimental effect upon the procurement system, we recom- mended in a separate letter to the Secretary of the Air Force that a further review of the cost analysis be undertaken before the eexrcise of the contract option. The instant request for :ceconsideration of Service Is Basic, Inc., is premised solely upon' the possibility that the Air Force cost analysis may have been erroneous. Our Office will reconsider decisions upon a showing that either errors of law or fact were present, William D. Hutchinson, B-185850, May 13, 1976, 76-1 CPD 324. Since the request for reconsideration alleges neither mistakes of fact or law, our prior decision is affirmed. Deputy Comptroller Cenerci of the United States . . - 1 -
