OF THE UNITEO STATEs - WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548 FILE: B-181698 k DATE: February 6, 1975 B-181706 MATTER OF: Tombs & Sons, Inc. Dyneteria, Inc. DIGEST: 1. Contracting officer properly rejected low offer for Navy mess attendant services where RFP required justification if offeror proposed manning levels lower than Government estimate and offeror guaranteed to meet the contract's requirements at no increase in price, since if performance is required at Government estimate offeror's price does not support its basic labor costs as required by RFP. 2. No basis exists to question award for mess attendant services to offeror which proposed manning levels lower than Government estimate, where offeror properly sub- stantiated deficiency, as permitted by RFP, and offeror's proposal met other requirements of RFP (i.e. dollar/hour ratio comparison with basic labor cost) without regard to prices submitted for volume variation factor. On May 30, 1974, request for proposals (RFP) N66314-74-R-2570, for the performance of mess attendant services from July 1, 1974, through June 30, 1975, at the Naval Station, Treasure Island, San Francisco, was issued by the Naval Regional Procurement Office, Naval Supply Center, Oakland, California. Twelve of the 13 firms responding by the June 14, 1974, deadline for receipt of offers were determined to be in the competitive range. On June 19, 1974, those 12 offerors were contacted by tele- phone and advised that the best and final offers were to be sub- mitted by June 21, 1974. Moreover, the agency states that all offerors were then advised that the submission of an unbalanced offer with respect to the volume variation factor (§ E of the RFP) would cause the offer to be rejected. The contracting officer confirmed these oral. instructions by telegram dated June 20, 1974, and timely best and final offers were received from all of the offerors. - 1 -
