handle is hein.gao/gaobadgdh0001 and id is 1 raw text is: I S Is ~~?Aa2Thr FILE: MATTER OF: B-1 910115 DATE: Jue 7, 1978 Leo Kanner Associates--Request for Reconsideration DIGEST: Ae 2. In absence of evidence that earlier decision was in error,,.mere fact that other interpre- tation of solicitation may be reasonable dnes not require overruling of earlier deci- Vaon based on GAO determination of most reasonable interpretation. Inclusion in solicitation of estimated use percentages..of subline items does not bring instant case within rule of cases where GAP has-approved or required multiile awards of subline items since, in those, cases, the solicitations specified definite, and not estimated, quantities of the ±ubline items. Leo'Kanner Associates (Kanner) requests recon- sideration of nur decision in LeoKanner Associates, 8-190115, March 14, 1978, 78-1 CPD 200, which involved Request for Iroposals (RFP) No. DAAG39-77-R-9102, itsued by the Army's Harry Diamond Laboratoiies, for translation of between 2 and 12 million words contained in foreign language technical documents. Both in its initial protest and here, Kanner has contended that the Army erred in making a single award based on, the awardee's prices for each of six items, since arultiple awaids were authorized by the solicita- tion and, if made oil the basis of subline item prices, multiple awards would have yielded the-lowest total cost to the,Government. In our earlier decision, we recognized that the lowest -price would be achieved by making-multiple awards on the basis of subline item prices. However, we concluded that the solicitation required the Army to consider multiple awards with regard to the average evaluated prices of line items and not of subline items. For the reasons which follow, Kanner takes exception to our conclusions.
