R05411 FILE: B-192251 DATE: Noveber 7, 1978 MATTER OF: Southwest Marine, Inc.; Triple A South DIGEST: Solicitation requirement that vessel over- haul services be performed at contractor's facilities was not unduly restrictive of competition since there is no legal re- quirement that agency offer to furnish Government facilities for contract per- formance to permit otherwise inadequately equipped bidders to bid on any given procurement. , Southwest Marine, Xnc. (Sonthwest) and Triple A South.(Triple A) protest the failure of invitation for bids (IFB) No. N65870-78-B-0010 to permit bidders to perform naval vessel overhaul work at the U.S. Naval Stat:'in piers in San Diego as an alternative to the invitation's requirement that the work be performed at contractor waterfront facilities. It is contended that qualified small business concerns are effectively pre- rluded from competition by the invitation cequirement because they lack adequate waterfront facilities to per- form such work. prtesters claim That Ehey have per- formed several prior vessel overhauls under contracts allegedly permitting the use of Government facilities, and that the field of competition for this procurement ciuld have been expanded had the procuring activity per- mitted the use of Governgient property. The IFB was issued by the Supervisor of Shipbuild- ing, Conversion and Repair, Long Beach Naval Shipyard, Long Seach, California for the overhaul of the U.S.S. AJAX. Bids were opened on July 31, 1978 with the follow- ing result.
