handle is hein.gao/gaobadjkj0001 and id is 1 raw text is: THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL DECISION OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON, D. C. 20548 FILE: B-200200.2 DATE: May 21, 1981 MATER B-2020. F41 I--- MATTER OF: AM International, Inc.. Reconsideration DIGEST: Recommendation in prior decision that remaining portion of procure- ment be resolicited is changed to recommendation for no corrective action, since agency has advised that contract was for purchase of equipment rather than lease with renewal options, as had been understood originally, and equip- ment has been delivered and put into service and contractor has been paid. The Department of the Army (Army) requests reconsideration of the recommendation in AM Inter- national, Inc., B-200200, April 6, 1981, 81-1 CPD In that decision, we found that the agency's evaluation of the proposals submitted in response to the solicitation for word processing equipment was inconsistent with the evaluation criteria specified in the solicitation for life cycle costs and sort cap- ability. We recommended, therefore, that the remain- ing portion of the procurement be resolicited based on the Army's actual needs and be evaluated on an objective basis that would insure equality of treatment. We stated that if, after the resolicitation, some offeror other than Lanier Business Products, Inc. (the awardee), was the successful offeror, steps should be taken to termi- nate the contract with Lanier for the convenience of the Government. We based this recommendation on the understanding that the contract awarded to Lanier was a 1-year lease with three 1-year options. In the request for reconsideration, the Army agrees with our findings in regard to the inconsistency between its evaluation and the evaluation criteria
