                        THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL
DECISION . K7. OF THE UNITED STATES
                        WASHINGTON,  . C. 20548


FILE:  B-195830.2


DATE:  April 21, 1980


MATTER  OF:


Security Assistance Forces and
Equipment oHG--Reconsideration


0  )-3e


DIGEST:                                              t



1.   Unwarranted exclusion of protester from
     competition would be improper; however,
     agency decision not to solicit protester
     for small purchase conforms with regulatory
     preference to solicit firms in locality
     of purchasing activity.

2.   There is no basis to reconsider prior
     decision where protester does not allege
     error of fact or law.



     Security Assistance Forces and Equipment oHG
(SAFE) ask us to reconsider our decision Security
Assistance Forces and Equipment OHG, B-195830,
February 8, 1980, 80-1 CPD   .  We denied
SAFE's protest that it was not solicited by
the United States Army Procuring Agency, Europe,
Grafenwoehr Purchasing Office, under a request for
quotations for installation of smoke detectors.

     In our decision, we noted that the purchasing
office had solicited three suppliers located in the
immediate vicinity of the purchasing office and
awarded a purchase order to the firm offering the
lowest quote. We stated that the agency's decision
not to solicit SAFE, which is located relatively
far from the purchasing office, conformed with the
regulatory preference for soliciting sources in the
local trade area of either the purchasing or the
receiving activity. See Defense Acquisition Regulation
§ 3-604.2.
