C. 20548 %IT FILE: B-195183.3 DATE: November 3, 1981 MATTER OF: Serv-Air, Inc.; AVCO -- Air Force Request for Reconsideration DIGEST: Where decision to retain function in-house is based on comparison of estimated in-house costs with offers received in competitive procurement, integrity of process dictates that comparison be supported by complete and comprehensive data, and that elements of com- parison are clearly identifiable and verifi- able. I The Department of the Air Force requests that we reconsider our decision in Serv-Air, Inc.; AVCO, 60 Comp. Gen. 44 (1980), 80-2 CPD 317. The decision in- volved protests by Serv-Air, Inc. and AVCO Corporation against the Air Force's determination that the Military Aircraft Storage and Disposal Center (MASDC) at Davis- Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona would be operated at a lower cost to the Government through the continued use of Government personnel rather than by awarding a contract based on proposals submitted by either of the two firms. We sustained the protests to the extent that the Air Force's comparison of in-house costs and the costs of contracting did not comply with the Air Force policy and regulations which the solicitation established as the groundrule for determining whether to contract. Because it appeared that a proper cost comparison would have resulted in an award to Serv-Air and since the first performance year had ended, we recommended that the Secretary of the Air Force consider having a new solicitation issued as soon as possible with a new Gov- ernment cost comparison made on the basis of offers received in response. That comparison would form the basis for a new Air Force decision with respect to whether to contract the MASDC operation.
