This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Trajen, hie. File: B-284310; B-284310.2 Date: March 28, 2000 Jeffrey A. Stonerock, Esq., and Steven A. Alerding, Esq., Baker Botts, for the protester. Anne Rathmell Davis, Esq., and Lori S. Chofnas, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Linda S. Lebowitz, Esq., and Michael R. Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest of agency appeal authority's cost comparison decision made pursuant to Office of Management and Budget Circular No. A-76 is sustained where the appeal authority lacked a reasonable basis for reversing the initial cost comparison conclusion that contractor performance was more economical than in-house perfo rmanc e. DECISION Trajen, Inc. protests the decision of the Department of the Navy's appeal authority, pursuant to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular No. A-76, that it would be more economical to operate and maintain in-house the Defense Fuel Support Point (DFSP) Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, rather than to contract for these services under request for proposals (RFP) No. SP0600-99-R-0005, issued by the Defense Energy Support Center, Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). Trajen challenges the appeal authority's cost comparison decision on numerous grounds and argues that if the cost comparison is adjusted to correct errors, the cost of performance under a contract with Trajen would be lower than the cost of in-house performance. We sustain the protest.
