OLLER 0    Comptroller General
           of the United States

           Washington, D.C. 2058
           Decision



           Matter of: King-Fisher Company--Request for Reconsideration

           File:        B-236687.3

           Date:        June 20, 1990


           Emerson B. Fisher, for the protester.
           Linda S. Lebowitz, Esq., and Michael R. Golden, Esq., Office
           of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation
           of the decision.

           DIGEST

           Request for reconsideration of initial decision is denied
           where protester fails to specify any factual or legal basis
           warranting reversal or modification of initial decision.

           DECISION

           King-Fisher Company requests that we reconsider our decision
           in King-Fisher Co., B-236687.2, Feb. 12, 1990, 90-1 CPD
           If 177, in which we denied King-Fisher's protest challenging
           the acceptability of Repco, Incorporated's bid under
           invitation for bids (IFB) No. N62922-89-B-6577, issued by
           the Department of the Navy for a radio fire alarm system for
           the Subic Bay Naval Base, Republic of the Philippines.

           We deny the request for reconsideration.

           Eight bids were received at bid opening on September 15. By
           letter dated September 20, King-Fisher, the third low
           bidder, filed an agency-level protest, alleging that neither
           Seaboard Electronics Company, the apparent low bidder, nor
           Repco, the second low bidder, could manufacture equipment
           meeting the specification requirements. The agency rejected
           Seaboard's bid as nonresponsive. By letter dated
           September 27 to the agency, Repco, which did not take any
           exceptions in its bid to the specifications, confirmed that
           the equipment which it intended to supply would meet or
           exceed the specification requirements. On September 28, the
           agency awarded the contract to Repco.

             In its protest, King-Fisher challenged the agency's
             determination that Repco would be able to perform the
             contract by supplying equipment conforming to the
             specifications. We held that since Repco did not take any
             exception to the specifications in its bid, its bid was
