D.C. 20548 LN-to FILE: B-19 MATTER OF: DIGEST: 7260 DATE: August 13, 1980 Tracor Marine, Inc. Vai Prior decision is affirmed upon reconsideration. Allegation that awardee did not comply with solici- tation requirement that contractor perform significant portion of work is without merit where agency con- tends contractor will perform 50 percent of requirement. Contention that prior decision will permit offerors to propose unrealistically low prices and then subcontract during performance to recover ex- penses is denied as prior decision concluded awardee proposed realistic prices based on price analysis. Tracor Marine, Inc. (Tracor), hap reouested reconsideration of our decision, Tracor Marine, Inc., B-197260, June 23, 1980, 80-1 CPD 439, which denied C:0 Tracor's protest against the award of a contract to the General Offshore Corporation (GOC) by the NavaL Surface Weapons Center. Tracor contended that +b-'- Navy Lad-ncondcted an inadequate co-st or price analysis in determining the realism of GOC's proposed costs. We found a rational analysis of costs had been performed by the Navy to determine the reasonableness and realism of the proposed costs. Further, since it was impos- sible to predict the amount of subcontracting that would be necessary because of the quick response time required and the uncertainty as to whether a contractor's facilities would already be committed when a task order was issued, we found it reasonable for the Navy to evaluate costs based on-in-house rates quoted byofferors. 10 C \k AO)053
