          DIGEST

          Protester serving as agency tender official, who filed protest on behalf of federal
          employees challenging the outcome of a public-private competition under Office of
          Management and Budget Circular A-76, is not an interested party with standing to
          pursue a protest at the Government Accountability Office where the public-private
          competition at issue was initiated prior to January 26, 2005.
          DECISION

          James C. Trump, the agency tender official (ATO) for the Naval Satellite Operations
          Center (NAVSOC) tender in a public-private competition under Office of
          Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-76, protests the Navy's decision to
          procure operations and maintenance services for communications satellite systems
          at Point Mugu, California and various NAVSOC detachments, through a contract
          awarded to Rome Research Corporation, rather than continuing to have those
          services performed in-house by government employees. On behalf of the
          employees,' the ATO argues that the A-76 competition contained various flaws.

          We dismiss the protest on the basis that the protester is not an interested party.



          1 The ATO states that this standard competition relates to a function performed by
          83 full-time equivalent employees of NAVSOC. Protest at 1.
