                         THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL
DECISION                 OF THE UNITED       STATES
                         WASHINGTON. 0. C. 20548




FILE:  B-205700.3             DATE:   May 20, 1983

MATTER OF:     International Logistics Group, Ltd.--
                 Reconsideration

DIGEST:


     Where significant data and warranty
     requirements would have to be added to canceled
     IFB for brand name transmissions in order to
     permit consideration of alleged equal bid for
     award, addition may not be allowed since this
     would result in essentially new IFB under which
     no competition had been achieved. In any
     event, record does not show that alleged
     equal bid was, in fact, equal to brand name
     product; therefore, prior decision denying pro-
     test against Army's failure to award to alleged
     Requal bidder under canceled IFB is affirmed.

reconsideration of our decision in International Loaistics
Group, Ltd., B-205700.2, March 9, 1983, 83-1 CPD 241. In
that decision, we denied the protest of ILG against cancel-
lation of invitation for bids (IFB) No. DAAE07-81-B-5547,
issued by the United States Army Tank-Automotive Command for
quantitfes of Chrysler Corporation 4x4 hydraulic transmis-
sions (P/N4086336) and 4x2 hydraulic transmissions
(P/N3898864). After bid opening, the Army found that the
required Chrysler transmissions were no longer available
from Chrysler even though ILG intended to supply ILG
assembled 'Chrysler' transmissions.

     We affirm our decision.

     From the record, it was clear that the Army canceled
the IFB because:  (1) there was no way of knowing whether
the ILG transmissions would meet Army's needs without docu-
mentary evidence bearing on the alleged essential equality
of ILG's and Chrysler's transmissions and without the Army's
