MATTER OF:      Bailey Controls Company


DIGEST:

  1.   Complainant's bid is nonresponsive where it
       does not include a price on an item which
       agency considered for award in accordance
       with the solicitation.

  2.   Complainant does not have the direct and
       substantial interest that is necessary to
       make it an interested party to object to
       award to another bidder where its bid is
       properly rejected as nonresponsive, no basis
       for resolicitation is found, and there is a
       third apparently acceptable bidder entitled
       to award.

       Bailey Controls Company (Bailey) complains of
  the award of a contract to Westinghouse Electric
  Company (Westinghouse) under invitation for bids (IFB)
  No. 13359-PO-10 issued by the Arab Republic of Egypt,
  Egyptian Electric Authority (EEA), for a panels and
  controls system for a power station. Funds for this
  procurement are being provided to EEA by the Agency
  for International Development (AID) under a grant
  agreement. Bailey claims that its bid was improperly
  rejected as nonresponsive, and the Westinghouse bid
  was improperly accepted. Alternatively, Bailey
  requests cancellation and resolicitation of the
  requirement.

       The complaint is denied in part and dismissed in
  part.

       Although the Bailey bid was rejected for several
  reasons, we need discuss only the fact that Bailey's
  bid did not price item 6.1 of the solicitation's
  bidding schedule. Item 6.1, one of 10 items under
  item 6.0 (optional prices), required a lump-sum price
