This version has been redacted or approved by the parties involved for public release. Matter of: Matrix International Logistics, Inc. File: B-277208; B-277208.2 Date: September 15, 1997 Timothy Sullivan, Esq., Katherine S. Nucci, Esq., and Martin R. Fischer, Esq., Adduci, Mastriani & Schaumberg, for the protester. Raymond S.E.

CTR program support includes, to the extent feasible, the use of United States technology and technicians, and has resulted in the provision of equipment and services to the FSU.

Essentially, the objective of the contract is to provide the CTR program with door-to-door
