     FILE:   B-213428.3           DATE: October 22, 1984

     MATTER OF: Power Equipment Inc.


     DIGEST:

     Agency had cogent and compelling reason to
     cancel IFB for generators where IFB had no
     specification for spare parts, which was one
     line item of IFB, or standard to evaluate
     bidder's proposed spare parts, because interests
     of both government and bidder are prejudiced by
     such vague specification.

     Power Equipment Inc. (PEI) has claimed bid preparation
costs for the allegedly wrongful cancellation of invitation
for bids (IFB) DACA78-83-B-0005, issued as a small business
set-aside by Middle East Division, United States Army Corps
of Engineers (Corps), for diesel electric generator units
and associated data, spare parts and technical services.

     The IFB requested bids on item 0001, the diesel
electric generator units; item 001AA, operation and main-
tenance data; item OIAB, installation/assembly instruc-
tions; item 001AC, recommended repair parts list; item
001AD, special tools and equipment list; item 0002,
1 year's operational spare parts; items 0003, 0004 and
0005, various technical representative services; and item
0006, air fare.

     Under special provision H-20, line item 0002, one
year's operational spare parts, of the IFB bid schedule is
defined and addressed as follows:

     These spare parts are those required for
     startup, maintenance and operations during the
     first year's operation period. List of these
     parts are required to be submitted with bid and
     will include a detailed cost for each item.
     Parts will be shipped with the engine generator
     sets.
