handle is hein.gao/gaobadfqk0001 and id is 1 raw text is: STHE COMPTROLLER GENEfAL DEICISHINM 9, Nt'. %1J .OF THE UrNITED STATES WASHINGTON. D.C. 2054E FILE: B-186858 DATE: January 23, 1978 MATTER OF: Tymshare, Inc. DIGEBT:- 1. GAO decision recommended that Navy resolicit rather than exercising contract options, and Navy then advised GAO of its belief that in prevailing circumstances reseSicitation for next year's computer timesharing services would be impracticable. After review of record, no basis is saen for objection to Navy's extension of current contract for 9 months. Pro- tester's allegations that Navy had no intent to comply with or was disregarding GAO recommendations are without merit, 2. Objection that GAO failed to take decisive action on behalf of protester to stop procurement action by Navy is without merit. GAO has repeatedly rejectsi requests that it render interim decisions which would afford some type of preliminary relief to protesters pending final decisions on merits of protests. More- over, issuing final written decision on merits of this case prior to Navy's action was not possible within time frame involved (June 1.5-21, 1977). Proper forum for seeking injunctive relief is Eederal courts, not GAO. 3. Whether Navy should have reopened negotiations prior to award to give protester opportunity to propose on fixed monthly rate basis for timesharing servics--optiona1 pricing arrange- ment In successful offeror's revised proposal which'Navy intendei tr utilize after making award--is moot issue where prior GAO decision recommended, for other reasons, that Navy reopen nesotiatiorns. This is our thiid decision in connection with contracts awarded under request for proposals (RFP) No. N00600-76-R-5078, issued by the Washington, D.C., Naval Regional Procurement Office, Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP). - 1- -.
