White & Company, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. DAHC24-95-R-0004, issued by the Department of the Army, Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC), Cape Canaveral Detachment, Florida, for stevedoring and related services.

BACKGROUND The RFP, issued February 12, 1996, as a total small business set-aside, contemplated the award of a fixed-price, indefinite quantity contract for a 2-year base period of performance, with up to three option periods.
