DECISION            /ZJ*. OF THE   UNITED STATES

FILE:      B-197000. 3        DATE:  January 6, 1981

MATTER  OF:    Interscience Systems, Inc.


DIGEST:

   /Request for reconsideratia nclaiming fac-
   tual  discrepancy which ws  not material
   to  prior decision is denied since prior
   decision  is not shown to have been founded
   on  alleged error of fact.

   Interscience  Systems, Inc. again requests reconsid-
eration of our decision in its protest, Interscience
Systems, Inc., B-197000, August 8, 1980, 80-2 CPD 103,
concerning a U.S. Army Missile Command (Army) procure-
ment for a UNIVAC Model 8433 disk system, or equal, under
Request for Proposals (RFP) DAAHO3-80-R-0036. A prior
Interscience request for reconsideration was denied.
Interscience Systems, Inc., B-197000.2, October 27, 1980,
80-2 CPD 320. In the last sentence of that decision, we
expressed our understanding that the intended awardee
was a peripheral equipment manufacturer, not Univac.

     Noting that the original protest was based in part
on Interscience's contention that the solicitation could
only result in an award to Univac, the protester states
that  it has since learned that Univac actually received
the award. Because Interscience views our decision as
founded on what has.been shown to be a mistaken belief
that Univac would not receive award, it argues that
our decision should be reconsidered.

     We disagree.

     Our decision on reconsideration dealt primarily
with Interscience's failure to meet its burden of proof
in prosecuting the original protest. In passing, we
referred to information furnished our Office at that
time which indicated that Univac's proposal was not
then considered to be in line for award.
