Price, Esq., Crowell & Moring, for Exide Electronics Corporation, a requester. Brian J. Donovan, Esq., Jones & Donovan, for Liebert Federal Systems, Inc. and Richard F. Smith, Esq., John S. Pachter, Esq., and Jonathan D. Shaffer, Esq., Smith, Pachter, McWhorter & D'Ambrosio, for L.K. Comstock, Inc., the interested parties. Gregory H.

DIGEST Requests for reconsideration of decision sustaining protests of agency's cost evaluations are denied where the requests provide no basis for reconsidering the decision. DECISION Exide Electronics Corporation and the Department of the Air Force request reconsideration of our decision sustaining the protests of L.K. Comstock, Inc. and Liebert Federal Systems, Inc. against the award of a contract to Exide under request for proposals (RFP) No. F04606-94-R-0002, issued by the Air Force for static uninterrupted power supplies (SUPS) and associated equipment and services. We deny the requests for reconsideration. We sustained the protests due to the agency's unreasonable cost evaluations; specifically, we found that the agency's application of unsupported, unrealistic quantity estimates to the various discounts offered by Exide in its proposal was improper and that the record therefore did not reasonably support the agency's determination that the Exide proposal offered the lowest cost to the government. L.K. Comstock, Inc.: Liebert Fed. Sys., Inc., B-261711.5; B-261711.6, Dec. 14, 1995, 96-1 CPD 4. 1120416
