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




             Matter of: Kerry Lindahl

             File:       B-276057

             Date:        May 7, 1997

             Kerry Lindahl, the protester.
             Friedrich St. Florian, an intervenor.
             Harmon R. Eggers, Esq., and Lydia R. Kupersmith, Esq., General Services
             Administration, for the agency.
             Aldo A. Benejam, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
             GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
             DIGEST

             1. Protester which entered design competition for the National World War II
             Memorial is an interested party to challenge the selection of a designer on the basis
             that the agency improperly reduced the amount of below-grade interior space
             allegedly required to be included in the design of the Memorial, notwithstanding
             that agency did not consider protester's late entry, since if the protest were
             sustained, the appropriate remedy would be a resolicitation under which the
             protester could compete.

             2. Allegation that in selecting a final design for the National World War II Memorial
             contracting agency may not significantly change the amount of space required to be
             included in entries in the preliminary design competition--on the basis of which the
             designer finalist was selected--is denied where, when read in the context of the
             purpose of the competition, nothing in the Commerce Business Daily notice
             publicizing the design competition or in a program brochure distributed by the
             contracting agency to potential entrants can reasonably be read to limit the agency,
             in selection of a final design, to the physical characteristics listed as parameters for
             the preliminary design competition.

             DECISION

             Kerry Lindahl protests the selection of Friedrich St. Florian as the architect with
             whom to negotiate an architect-engineer (A-E) contract under solicitation
             No. GS-11P-96-AQC-0017. The solicitation was issued by the General Services
             Administration (GSA) on behalf of the American Battle Monuments Commission
             (ABMC), for design and other A-E services in connection with the National World
             War II (WWII) Memorial. The protester contends that after announcing the
