The Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 2058 Decision Larry Latham Auctioneers, Inc.--Request for Mattero: Reconsideration File: B-229917.10 Date: January 13, 1989 DIGEST Request for reconsideration of decision sustaining agency's improper award to incumbent contractor is denied where the incumbent contractor fails to show any error of fact or law that would warrant reversal of or modification of prior decision, reiterates arguments raised initially, and merely expresses disagreement with the original decision. DECISION Larry Latham Auctioneers, Inc., requests reconsideration of our decision Kaufman Lasman Associates, Inc., B-229917.9, Oct. 21, 1988, 88-2 CPD If 381, in which we held that the Veterans Administration (VA) improperly awarded a contract under request for proposals (RFP) No. 26/101/2 to Latham, the incumbent contractor, for auctioneering services in connection with the sales of single family properties owned by VA. We deny the request for reconsideration. The procurement by VA has been the subject of numerous protests to our Office. On December 10, 1987, VA made award under the RFP to Latham based on initial proposals. VA later determined that award on the basis of initial proposals was improper under the Competition in Contracting Act of 1984 (CICA), 41 U.S.C. S 253b(d)(1)(B) (Supp. IV 1986). VA decided to hold discussions, request best and final offers (BAFO) from all offerors in the competitive range and, if appropriate, terminate Latham's contract. We upheld VA's decision in Kaufman Lasman Associates, Inc., et al., B-229917 et al., Feb. 26, 1988, 88-1 CPD 202, aff'd on reconsideration, B-229917.3, Mar. 16, 1988, 88-1 CPD 271. While the procurement was ongoing, however, VA allowed Latham to perform under the original award. The firm conducted a substantial number of auctions with sales volume exceeding $25 million. &43m K/ 775c ':
