File: B-282192 Date: June 10, 1999 Terry Cowart for the protester. Justin P. Patterson, Esq., and Sherry K Kaswell, Esq., Department of the Interior, for the agency. Linda C. Glass, Esq., Paul E. Jordan, Esq., and Paul I. Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1.

DECISION Matrix General, Inc. protests the exclusion of its proposal from the competitive range and the subsequent award of a contract to Rockford Corporation, under request for proposals (RFP) No. 1443RP991099902, issued by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS) for the design, furnishing, and installation of a complete undergro und fuel sto rage and distribution system at Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska. We deny the protest. The RFP was issued on December 23, 1998, and, as amended, contemplated award of a fixed-price contract to design, furnish and install a complete underground fuel storage and distribution system to replace the existing fuel system. RFP attach. I, at 1. The requirement also included the removal of the existing fuel storage and distribution system and preparation of Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) and Facility Response Plans for the new system.
