handle is hein.gao/gaocrptahuv0001 and id is 1 raw text is: oComptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to a I GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: National Airmotive Corporation File: B-280194 Date: September 4, 1998 David R. Johnson, Esq., Diana G. Richard, Esq., James C. Dougherty, Esq., and Rachel Courtney, Esq., Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, for the protester. Gregory H. Petkoff, Esq., Marian Sullivan, Esq., and John Lariccia, Esq. Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., Paul E. Jordan, Esq., and Paul Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST In procurement for maintenance and repair of three aircraft engines presently performed at the same depot, where the Air Force has shown a currently degraded war readiness posture for the specific engines at issue and has provided support for its assessment that transitioning the engine workloads to multiple contractors, rather than to a single contractor, would likely reduce productivity during the transition, the Air Force did not act unreasonably in concluding that transitioning the workloads to multiple contractors would create an unacceptable risk to the readiness status of these engines and, therefore, that combining the three engines' workloads in one procurement is necessary to meet the agency's needs. DECISION National Airmotive Corporation protests the provisions of request for proposals (RFP) No. F41608-98-R-0084, issued by the Department of the Air Force for the public/private competition of various workload requirements related to the depot-level maintenance and repair of T-56, TF-39, and F-100 aircraft engines. The requirements are currently being performed at the San Antonio Air Logistics Center, Kelly Air Force Base (AFB), Texas, which is scheduled to be closed in 2001. National Airmotive maintains that it is a potential offeror for work relating only to the T-56 engine and protests that, by combining the workloads and requiring offerors to submit proposals for all of the combined work, the solicitation unduly restricts competition. We deny the protest.
