Therefore, prior decision is affirmed. Compressor Engineering Corporation (CECO) requests reconsideration of our decision in Compressor Engineering Corporation, B-206879, October 29, 1982, 82-2 CPD 383. We denied CECO's protest aganist award of a contract by the Defense Construction Supply Center (DCSC) to Ingersoll-Rand Company under solicitation No. DLA700-81-R-3966 for the supply of 29 cylinder sleeves for use by the Department of the Navy in low pressure air compressors installed on various Navy combat ships. We upheld the restriction of the procurement to only firms supplying Ingersoll-Rand parts on the basis that the Navy and DCSC did not have fully adequate data or sufficient test results to coneuct the procurement on an unrestricted basis to assure the requisite reliability and interchangeability of parts in accord with Defense Acquisition Regulation (DAR) S 1-313 (1976 ed.). The facts were fully set forth in our prior decision and will only be repeated here insofar as is necessary to resolve CECO's request. CECO contends that our decision was based upon factual and legal errors and requests reconsideration under section 21.9(a) of our Bid Protest Procedures. 4 C.F.R. part 21 (1982). We do not agree with CECO's argumenta and, there- fore, the October 29 decision is affirmed. CECO first argues that we erred because our decision was based in part upon the fact that the part being procured, a cylinder sleeve, was described as a critical application item in the solicitation; CECO contends that the Navy did not list the part as a Restricted Source part on form 1418 until approximately 9 months after the solicitation was issued. We disagree with CECO's analysis. -W .. . . . . .. ..4- -* --
