          Decision


          Matter of: Mark Dunning Industries, Inc.

          File:        B-289378

          Date:        February 27, 2002

          Karl Dix, Jr., Esq., Smith, Currie & Hancock, for the protester.
          Maj. Ralph J. Tremaglio, III, and Col. Michael R. Neds, Department of the Army, for
          the agency.
          Louis A. Chiarella, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General
          Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          In a solicitation for trash collection services, requirements that offerors employ an
          individual household weighing system (in order to provide the agency with data on
          the trash and recycling habits of family housing residents) and utilize a specific
          landfill site are not unduly restrictive where the requisite weighing system and the
          landfill site are available to all prospective offerors.
          DECISION

          Mark Dunning Industries, Inc. protests the terms of request for proposals (RFP)
          No. DAKF23-01-R-0204, issued by the Department of the Army for trash collection
          services at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. Dunning asserts that the requirements for an
          individual household trash weighing system and the mandatory use of a particular
          landfill site are unnecessary to meet the agency's needs.

          We deny the protest.

          The RFP contemplates the award of a fixed-price contract for a base year, with four
          1-year options, to provide refuse collection and recycling services at Fort Campbell,
          Kentucky. The solicitation's scope of work includes the installation's industrial
          complex, hospitals, and training locations, as well as the on-post Army Family
          Housing (AFH) areas. The RFP provides offerors with estimated quantities of work,
