handle is hein.gao/gaocrptahxd0001 and id is 1 raw text is: oComptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: Pacifica Services, Inc. File: B-280921 Date: December 7, 1998 Raymond Fioravanti, Esq., and Alan Dickson, Esq., Epstein Becker & Green, for the protester. Jance R. Hawkins, Esq., and Richard B.
