 MATTER   OF: Aul Instruments, Inc.


 DIGEST:


      Cancellation of solicitation due
      to inability of Government to
      timely furnish required Government
      Furnished Material and Equipment,
      and due to resulting changes
      in specifications, was proper.


      Aul Instruments, Inc., has protested the
 cancellation of)rrvitation-eQL bids (IFB)7No.
 N00123-79-B-l109, issued by the Naval Regional
 Contracting Office, Long Beach, California.
 The requiring activity, which canceled the
.solicitation, was the Naval Electronic Systems
Command  (NAVALEX).

      The IFB was for 13 AN/TSC 95 Communication
 System Shelters plus a first article unit and
 associated data.  The solicitation provided that
 substantial Government Furnished Material (GFM)
 and Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) would
 be provided to the successful bidder. GFM and
 GFE required for the first article was to be
 provided within 30 days of contract award,
 and the balance was to be provided within 30
 days after first article approval.

      Four bids were received, with Aul's bid
 being low.  Preaward surveys were conducted at
 two of Aul's plants. According to NAVALEX, at
 that time it became clear that the Government
 could not meet its requirement to provide the
 GFM and GFE in a timely manner. NAVALEX has
 provided a GFM schedule showing that much of
 the GFM is scheduled to be delivered beyond the
 date needed for the contract, and that some
 orders have been canceled and not rescheduled.
