  FILE: B-187048                     DATE:  September 28, 19T6

  MATTER   OF:  Coastal Dry Dock & Repair Corporation


  DIGEST:


       Bid for ship repair from large shipyard having both dry
       dock and topside repair facilities is responsive even
       though it was only for topside work, since IFB lot bidding
       provision required separate bids upon dry dock work, top-
       side work, and combination thereof only from bidders who
       felt capable of doing entire job. Possession of both dry
       dock and topside facilities in itself does not obligate
       bidder to bid upon each type of work plus combination
       thereof: bidder must be interested in performing entire
       job.

       Coastal Dry Dock & Repair Corporation (Coastal) protests the
  proposed award of a contract to Todd Shipyards Corporation (Todd)
  for repair work on the USS FISKE (DD-842) under Invitationfor Bids
  (IFB) No. 62794-76-B-0037, issued by the Supervisor of Shipbuilding
  Conversion & Repair, Brooklyn, New York.

       The task of overhauling the USS FISKE was divided into three
  lots:  dry dock work; topside work (also referred to as afloat
  work in the IFB); and a combination of dry dock and afloat
  work. We are advised that this lot bidding procedure is intended
  to obtain maximum competition by allowing firms which were capable
  of performing on only one lot to compete for that lot.

       The lot bidding procedure was explained by the IFB as follows:

       Those bidders who cannot dry dock the vessel
       are requested to submit a bid based on the
       Afloat Work.

       Those bidders who can dry dock the vessel are
       required to submit separate bids based on the
       Dry dock Work, Afloat Work and Combination of
       Dry dock and Afloat Work.
