oComptroller General
             of the United States
             Washington, D.C. 20548
             Decision




             Matter of: C.W. Over and Sons, Inc.

             File:       B-274365

             Date:        December 6, 1996

             William J. Spriggs, Esq., Spriggs & Hollingsworth, for the protester.
             Michael H. Horrom, Esq., Maryland Procurement Office, National Security Agency,
             for the agency.
             Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., and Paul Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
             GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
             DIGEST

             1. Federal Acquisition Regulation requirement that the value of an indefinite
             quantity contract be more than nominal does not apply to individual tasks under a
             contract that includes a provision guaranteeing that minimum contract value will be
             $800,000.

             2. Solicitation requirement that contractor perform certain tasks that cannot be
             definitively priced prior to award does not create unreasonable risk where such
             potential tasking requirements are minimal and the price for such work will be the
             subject of negotiation between the contractor and the agency.

             3. Where solicitation lists prices for more than 25,000 tasks, protester's
             identification of a small number of prices that may not reflect the most recent
             actual costs does not require canceling the solicitation because offerors' proposed
             coefficients are intended to reflect the risk associated with such price variations.
             DECISION

             C.W. Over and Sons, Inc. (Over) protests the provisions of request for proposals
             (RFP) No. MDA904-96-R-0702, issued by the Maryland Procurement Office, National
             Security Agency (NSA), to perform a variety of construction, renovation, and repair
             services. The solicitation contemplates award of an indefinite delivery/indefinite
