                      Control Data Corporation requests that we reconoider
                 our decision, Control Data Corporition and KET, Incorpor-
                 ated, 60 Comp. Gen. 548 (1981), 81-1 CPD 531, in which we
                 denied two protests againtt an Internal Revenue Service
                 (IRS) iward to Centennial Systems, Inc. (CSI) for periph-
                 eral et uipment to st)port tiw IlS's Integrated Data Re-
                 trieval System.

                      We affirm our decision.

                      The procurement was for five line items of equip-
                 ment disk, tape, card reader, card punch, and line
                 printer equipment. The request for proposals (RP) per-
                 mitted an offeror to propose an a.l-or-none price to
                 furnish all line items provided it also priced all items
                 individually.  CSI initially offered to furnish disk and
                 tape cquiprent.  Its proposal %ias determined to be in the
                 competitive range, along with Control Data's proposal.
                 Control Data priced all items and additionally quoted
                 an all-or-none price.

                 price added in its best and final offer, in which that
                 firm amended its proposal by furnishing prices for used
                 Control Data card punch, card reader and line printer
                 equipment. CSI did not address in detail how it would
                 maintain this equipment; it simply stated 1-.hat it was
