          Matter of: Thames Towboat Company, hie.

          File:       B-282982

          Date:       September 9, 1999


          Wayne A. Keup, Esq., and Brian A. Bannon, Esq., Dyer Ellis & Joseph, for the
          protester.
          George N. Brezna, Esq., and Michelle C. Simms, Esq., Military Sealift Command, for
          the agency.
          Paul E. Jordan, Esq., and Paul Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,
          participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          1. Where solicitation does not require submission of detailed technical information,
          submission of representative technical information along with statements of
          compliance with minimum requirements is sufficient to meet the requirement for
          submission of adequate technical information.

          2. Decision to make multiple awards for time charter of tugboats, instead of a single
          award to the protester, is unobjectionable where solicitation provided for best value
          award and explicitly indicated that payment of a cost premium was contemplated for
          increased mission capability and early delivery date, both of which were gained with
          the awardee's tug.
          DECISION

          Thames Towboat Company, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Alpha Marine
          Services, LLC under request for proposals (RFP) No. N00033-99-R-1004, issued by the
          Military Sealift Command (MSC), Department of the Navy, for time charter of a
          tugboat. Thames challenges the agency's technical evaluation and best value
          determination.

          We deny the protest.

          MSC issued the solicitation on January 13, 1999 for the charter of up to two U.S.-flag
          tractor tugs for use at the Naval Submarine Base in New London, Connecticut, to
