              0          THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL
DECISION                 O F THE UNITED      STATES
                         WASHINGTON, 0.C. 20548



FILE:   B-195196.3            DATE: August 4, 1981

MATTER OF: Security Assistance Forces and
             Equipment International, Inc. -
             Reconsideration
DIGEST:

      Prior decision holding that Army properly
      omitted logistical support from solici-
      tation for services to be performed in
      Federal Republic of Germany is affirmed
      because despite protester's characteri-
      zation of these services as being pur-
      chased by contractors the provision of
      logistic services is at discretion of
      military commanders and protester has not
      shown that determination of Army is not
      supported by record.


      Security Assistance Forces and Equipment Inter-
 national, Inc. (SAFE) requests reconsideration of our
 decision, Security Assistance Forces and Eauipment
 International, Inc., B-195196; 195196.2, July 10,
 1980, 80-2 CPD 24. In that decision we denied SAFE's
 protest that the solicitation for technical services
 for a European facility improperly provided that
 logistic support would not be provided to contractor
 personnel and that its proposal was improperly rejected.
 We held that the Army's omission of logistic support
 was justified since the contracting officer determined
 that adequate competition existed from firms located
 within the Federal Republic Qf Germany so that the Army
 was not required to incur expenses incident to providing
 logistic support.

      SAFE contends that our Office misunderstands the
 basic concepts of logistic support in that it is not
 given to contractors but offered in exchange for lower
 prices offered by the contractor. SAFE further alleges
 that there was no evidence to justify precluding logistic
 support under the contract.
