   MATTEP OF: Plattburgh Air Force Base Heating Plrnt


   DIGEST:
1.   hotest  to GAO gainst allgedly  restrictive specifications in
     RFV, filed more than 10 working days after receipt of formal
     initial adverse agency action on protest to contracting agency,
     is untimely and will not be c'onsidered on merits.

2.   RFP for heating plant rehabilitation required evidence of
     successful..6phration of control system for 2 years in similar
     size and capacity boiler plant with primary function of boiler
     and plant equipment control. Protest that awardee did not
     meet requirement because its experieice concerned plant with
     stesam circulating system rather than high tempersture hot
     water system is denieA, since contracting agency staten that
     plants cre of similar size and capicity, and that tunction of
     control system is comparable in both boilec systems, which is
     subsaLntiated by trade 1 iblication.

     Request for proposals (RFP) No. F30636-77-09004 was issued by
the.United States Air Force to furnish all labor, eqriipment, material,
incidentals  and operations neceanery for the rehabilitation of six
high-temperature hot water generator/boilers at dhe central heating
plant for Plattsburgh Air Force Base, New York. The project's major
components were a burner system and a idirect digital control system.
The latter controls the combustion system which modulates fuel and
air input to the boilers. The selicitation required in pertinent
part:

          PRIME CONTRACTOR

          Award of the prime contract will be made only
     to the manufacturer of either the burner syntemn or
     the control system. No award will be made to a gen-
     eral contractor who would subcontract both the major
     components.
