OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548 0 FILE: B-193658 DATE: January 17,. 1979 MATTER OF: Logistical Support Inc. & DIGEST: 1. Information subqitted by protester in support of its lallegation that Air Force personnel and incumbent contractor colluded in attempt to mislead other bidders as to amount of work required is insufficient - for this Office to conclude that collusion existed. If protester has additional evidence of collusion it should be forwarded to the Department of Justice which has function of interpreting and enforcing federal criminal statutes. 2. Whether contractor will perform in accordance with contract specifications is a matter of contract administration and not for GAO consideration. Logistical Support Inc. (Logistical) protests the award of a contract under invitation for bids (IFB) 0 F0470078BOO74 issued by the Procurement Division, Headquarters Air Force Flight Test Center, Edwards.,- Air Force Base, California, for food service for the Airmen's Dining Hall. Logistical states that the impression of collusion between Air Force personnel and the incumbent contractor (and successful bidder under the current IFB) has been created by two circumstances. First, Logistical alleges that during a pre-bid site visit it observed that not all the serving lines listed in the IFB actually were being operated and that some of the incumbent's employees were idle and did not appear to know what their duties were. Second, Logistical notes that in the Suggested Minimum Manning Standards contained in the IFB, some of the hours have been inserted with a different type face. From this, Logistical concludes that the Air Force and the incumbent contractor colluded in an attempt to mislead all other bidders as to the amount of work to be done, so that the incumbent could underbid them.
