C. 2054a FILE: B-186311 PATE: Jun. 22, 1978 21 MATTER OP: university Research torporation - Reconsideration DIGEST: On February 3, 19 3, GAO denied claim for proposal preparation costs because it could not be detrmined that claimant was reasonably certain Of receiving award but for agency's inproper actions. Upon reconsideration, claimant cottends that it Is entitled to prbjosal preparati6n costs since it was reasonably likely (more than 50-percent probability) that claimant would have received award but for agency's improper acti6ns. Prior decision is affirmed since correct standard to be applied is one of reasonable certainty, and such determination nannot be made in present case. Univerasity Researdhvcorporation (URC) has requested reccnsideration of Lu: decision in the matter of University Research Corjioration - Reconsideration, b-l8611, February 3, 1978, 78-1 CPD 98, in which we denied URC's claim for proposal preparation costs. URC had originally proteste'd against the award 9f a contract by theDepartment of Labor to American Technical Assistance Cotporation (ATAC). Th protest was sustained in our decision of August,-25, 1976 (B-186311, 76-2 CPD 188), on the bases that ,.-bor hat' not conddctd 'an idd'quate cost analysis and ttait 'there was lack of rati6nal support for the source selection of ATAC. We rdcommended that the option uhder ATAC's contract not be exercised and that the require- ment be resolicited. We did not consider URC'e claim for proposal preparation costs in the August 26, 1976, decision because of our holding in Dynalectron Corporation, B-184203, R4, L17 N
