File: B-275213 Date: January 30, 1997 Robert G. Fryling, Esq., Blank, Rome, Comisky & McCauley, for the protester. Douglas Patin, Esq., and Robert Symon, Esq., Spriggs & Hollingsworth, for Omega Container, Inc., an intervenor. Jeffrey I. Kessler, Esq., and Barry R.

DECISION United Ammunition Container, Inc. (UAC) protests the award of a contract to Omega Container, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. DAAE30-96-R-0020, issued by the Department of the Army for the supply of inner containers for the 120 millimeter mortar.

The RFP contemplated award of a firm, fixed-price contract for a base quantity of 58,782 inner containers with two options for quantities of 11,000 to 80,000 and 16,000 to 115,000 units. Proposals were to be evaluated on the basis of price and 326115
