  ECISION              . OF  THE   UNITED STATES
                         WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548




FILE:    B-195773             DATE:   August 11, 1980

MATTER  OF:
              Interscience Systems, Inc.; Cencom
              Systems, Inc. - Reconsideration
DIGEST:



1.   Where interested party and procuring
     agency, in request for reconsideration,
     come forward with facts which they con-
     tend require overturning prior decision,
     and such facts were in their possession
     during development of protest, evidence
     of interested party will not be con-
     sidered. In future, procuring agency's
     late submission will be treated similarly
     but will be considered in instant matter.

 2. While agency contends other firms could
    have offered computer system, independent
    investigation reveals firms only could
    furnish hardware, not required software.
    Therefore, prior decision concerning sole-
    source nature of item is affirmed.

 3.  Recommendation in prior decision that
     contract be terminated and requirement
     resolicited is modified in view of agency
     contention that such action would disrupt
     critical computer services and current
     contract may continue during resolicita-
     tion effort and then be terminated if
     incumbent is not successful offeror under
     new solicitation.

     Th er.ivironmental Pr tection Agency (EPA) has
 requestr reconsideration of our decision in the matter
 of Interscience Systems, nc., Cencom Systems, Inc.,
 59 Comp. Gen.    (B-195773, B-195773.2, May 8, 1980),
 80-1 CPD 332, which involved a contract awarded to
 Sperry Univac (Univac) under request for proposals (RFP)
 No. WA79-D169.
