handle is hein.gao/gaobadgws0001 and id is 1 raw text is: THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL DECISION OF THE UNITED STATES /WASHINGTON, O.C. 20548 FILE: B-193774 DATE: January 31, 1979 MATTER OF: Eastern Brokers Inc. and Jan Pro Corporation 06 DIGEST: 1. Where protester alleges that low bidder's bid pr'ice is unreasonably low, mere fact that below-cost bid is submitted does not constitute legal basis for precluding award. 2. Question of whether bidder submitting below-cost bid can perform contract in conformance with specifications is matter of bidder responsibility and not for consideration by our Office except in circumstances not present here. 3. Whether contract will be performed in compliance with the contract requirements is matter of con- tract administration and not for consideration under GAO's Bid Protest Procedures. Eastern Brokers .Inc. and Jan Pro Corporation protest the award of contract No. N62472-79-C-3427 to R&B Refuse Company (R&B) by the Department of the Navy. The contract is for custodial services at the Naval Underwater Systems Center, New London Laboratory, New London, Connecticut, and Dodge Pond Field Station, East Lyme,Connecticut. Eastern Brokers Inc. and Jan Pro contend that R&B's bid price is unreasonably low and, therefore, R&B cannot and will not perform the contract properly. They further contend that the contracting officer has shown favoritism toward a nonminority contractor because R&B is presently performing refuse contracts for the same procurement and has no knowledge of custodial services.
