MATTER OF: General Services Administration--
             request for advance decision


K


DIGEST:

     Where invitation for bids--restricted
     to total labor surplus area set-aside
     concerns--(l) contemplates multiple
     awards for items and subitems to be
     shipped to certain destinations, and
     (2) discloses specific award selec-
     tion method by groups of required
     items and subitems, apparent low
     bidder on 23 subitems is entitled to
     consideration for award on all sub-
     items because it agreed to perform
     more than 50 percent of contract or
     award price in labor surplus area.

     The General Services Administration, rederal
Supply Service (GSA), requests our decision on the
propriety of an award to the Davis Walker Corpora-
tion under invitation for bids (IFB) No. 8FCB-B3-
80087 for fence stays, fencing, woven wire, and
other wire.

     The procurement was a total labor surplus
area set-aside. The IFB announced that bids were
solicited from concerns that would agree to perform
substantially in labor surplus areas, meaning that
the costs incurred on account of manufacturing,
production, or appropriate services in labor surplus
areas exceed 50 percent of the contract price. The
IFE called for prices on 15 items; where delivery
of an item to more than one destination was required,
the IFB called for subitem prices corresponding to
certain destinations. The IFB also divided the 15
items into 5 groups and the IFB disclosed how award
would be made in each group.
