handle is hein.gao/gaocrptaegi0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: IGIT, Inc. File: B-271823 Date: August 1, 1996 Paul H. Schramm, Esq., and Daniel R. Schramm, Esq., Schramm & Pines, L.L.C., for the protester. Lynn H. Patton, Esq., and Christopher Solop, Esq., Ott & Purdy, for Penn Enterprises, Inc.; Jesse W. Rigby, Esq., Clark, Partington, Hart, Larry, Bond, Stackhouse & Stone, for Crown American Laundry Services, Inc.; and Harold W. Robertson, for Robertson & Penn, Inc., the intervenors. Col. Nicholas P. Retson, and Maj. Michael J. O'Farrell, Jr., Department of the Army, for the agency. Ralph 0. White, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging contracting officer's decision to exclude protester from a competition because the protester possessed a page from the installation's solicitation register which included a lump-sum government estimate for the cost of the solicited work is sustained where there is no basis in the record to support a conclusion that the protester acted improperly in obtaining the document--even though the document should have been returned to the contracting officer--and where the information at issue could be provided to the other offerors to ameliorate any competitive advantage obtained by the protester with little damage to the integrity of the procurement. DECISION IGIT, Inc. protests its exclusion from a competition for laundry and dry cleaning services at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, under request for proposals (RFP) No. DABT31-95-R-0017, issued by the Department of the Army. IGIT challenges as unreasonable the agency's decision to exclude it from the competition due to its possession of an agency document showing the lump-sum government estimate of the cost for these services. We sustain the protest. 41382
