             Matter of: Pemco Aeroplex, Inc.

             File:        B-280397

             Date:        September 25, 1998

             Handler, for the protester.
             Thomas J. Madden, Esq., John J. Pavlick, Jr., Esq., Lars E. Anderson, Esq., and Paul

             & Logistics Centers, an intervenor.
             Gregory H. Petkoff, Esq., and John Lariccia, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for
             the agency.
             Ralph 0. White, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,

             DIGEST

             Protest challenging Air Force decision to use a consolidated solicitation to procure
             a significant portion of the workload currently performed by the Sacramento Air
             Logistics Center--thus bundling together programmed depot maintenance for the KC-
             135 aircraft, inspections and painting of the A-10 aircraft, and overhaul and repair
             requirements for hydraulic components, electrical accessories, and flight
             instruments--is sustained where the Air Force is unable to show that combining
             these requirements is reasonably required to satisfy the agency's needs.
             DECISION

             Pemco Aeroplex, Inc. protests the terms of request for proposals (RFP) No. F04606-
             98-R-0007, issued by the Department of the Air Force for a public/private
             competition for a significant portion of the depot workload currently performed by
             the Sacramento Air Logistics Center, McClellan Air Force Base (AFB), California.
             McClellan AFB is scheduled to close in 2001, and the Air Force has consolidated the
             depot's workload requirements in the following five areas into a single solicitation:
             (1) programmed depot maintenance for the KC-135 aircraft, (2) inspections and
             painting of the A-10 aircraft, and overhaul and repair requirements for (3) hydraulic
             components, (4) electrical accessories, and (5) flight instruments/electronics.
             Pemco asserts that it is a potential offeror for the KC-135 workload, and protests
             that the solicitation unduly restricts competition by combining these requirements
             into one procurement.
