             DIGEST

             In a solicitation implementing a pilot program to reengineer the Department of
             Defense's current program for the shipment and storage of the personal property of
             military service members and civilian employees, challenged requirements that each
             offeror serve all points in a traffic channel and that each offeror provide both
             household goods and unaccompanied baggage transportation services do not
             constitute improper bundling of requirements, where they reasonably reflect the
             agency's needs and are necessary to implement the pilot program's goals of
             reducing administrative burdens on the agency and improving the reliability and
             quality of service.
             DECISION
