B-228916.2, B-228916.3

January 14, 1988

The Honorable John 0. Marsh

The Secretary of the Army

Dear Mr. Secretary:

Enclosed is a copy of our decision of today sustaining the
protests of Programmatics, Inc. and Telesynetics Corporation
under solicitation No. DACW38-87-R-0042. The solicitation
requested proposals to prepare an integrated master plan to
meet the communication needs of the Army Corps of Engineers
in the Lower Mississippi Valley. The Army awarded a
contract under this solicitation to Touche Ross on
August 24, 1987.

As indicated in our decision of today, we have concluded
that the record provides no rational basis for the
evaluation scores awarded to the protesters' proposals. We
recommend that the Army reevaluate best and final offers and
provide adequate, rational documentation supporting the
scores awarded.   If reevaluation results in an offeror other
than Touche Ross becoming the highest evaluated offeror, the
Army should terminate the contract and reaward consistent
with the terms of the solicitation.

We direct your attention to the Competition in Contracting
Act of 1984, 31 U.S.C. S 3554(e)(1) (Supp. III 1985), which
requires that the head of the procuring activity responsible
for the solicitation report to our Office if the agency has
not fully implemented our recommendation within 60 days of
the receipt of our decision. In any event, please advise
our Office of the action taken on this recommendation.

Sincerely yours



Comptroller General
of the United States
