  MATTER OF: Dynalectron Corporation--Reconsideration


  DIGEST:

     GAO affirms prior decision denying protest
     that the use of peak workload data in
     specifications and the failure to include
     nonpeak workload data and projections,
     purportedly available from prior contracts,
     rendered specifications unduly restrictive
     of competition, unfairly advantageous to
     the incumbent contractor, and inappropriate
     for the award of a fixed-price incentive
     contract. The protester has presented no
     new factual grounds showing that the speci-
     fications were unreasonable, that the agency
     could reasonably provide more precise infor-
     mation, or that the agency's decision to award
     a fixed-price incentive contract lacked a
     reasonable basis.


     Dynalectron Corporation requests reconsideration
of our decision in Dynalectron Corporation, B-198679,
August 11, 1981, 81-2 CPD 115, denying the firm's
protest against the allegedly inadequate, restrictive
specifications used by the Department of the Air Force
in request for proposals (RFP) No. F08606-80-R-0004
for photographic/optical support services at the Eastern
Space and Missile Center and the Kennedy Space Center.
Specifically, Dynalectron asserted that the use of
peak workload data in the RFP statement of work (SOW)
and the omission of nonpeak workload data and projec-
tions of nonpeak requirements for the contract option
periods, purportedly available from prior contracts,
made the RFP specifications unduly restrictive of com-
petition and unfairly advantageous to the incumbent
contractor. The protester further claimed that the
allegedly inadequate specifications and fluctuating
workloads anticipated under the contract rendered
inappropriate the fixed-price incentive contract
which the Air Force proposed to award.
