                              THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL
      DECISIoN              . OF  THE   UNITED STATES
                              WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548




      FILE:  B-189884              DCATE: March 29, 1979

      MATTER  OF:
                    Serv-Air, Inc.- Reconsideration

     DIGEST:                                     ¾6t 3


     1.   Plain language of Truth in Negotiations Act,
          legislative history of act, regulatory implemen-
          tation, and history of implementation all support
          application of adequate price competition exemption
          to requirement for submission of certified cost or
          pricing data to fixed-price incentive contracts.

          Agency properly did not require proposed awardee
          to submit certified cost or pricing data since such
          data need not be submitted where price is based on
          adequate price competiti6n./ Adequate price competi-
          tion was achieved where RFP permitted award to other
          than low-priced offeror, price was substantial evalu-
          ation factor (30 percent), price evaluation did not
          have effect of eliminating price as evaluation factor,
          two proposals were in competitive range, and Govern-
          ment made award to best technical proposal for the
          dollar.

      3.  Request for conference is denied, since Bid Protest
          Procedures do not explicitly provide for conference
          on reconsiderations of decisions, and matter can be
          resolved without conference.

          Serv-Air,  Inc. (Serv-Air), has requested reconsid-
      eration of our decision in Serv-Air, Inc., 57 Comp. Gen.
      827, 78-2 CPD 223, which denied its protest of the award
      of a contract for the operation and maintenance ofjjVance
&//L   ir Force Base  Oklahorna(alncc), to Northrop Worldwide
      Aircratt Services, Inc. (Northrop).  y   oif?

         Original Decision and Grounds for Reconsideration

         Serv-Air's  grounds for protest were as follows:

           1.  The technical evaluation criteria were designed
               to give special weight to recent experience rather
               than the quality of services offered.
