This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: PCT Services, Inc. File: B-281046; B-281012.2 Date: December 22, 1998 Thomas E. Abernathy IV, Esq., Smith, Currie & Hancock, for the protester. John E. Lariccia, Esq., and Patrick F. Corbin, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Jeanne W. Isrin, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
