              MATTER OF:    Aero Corporation--Reconsideration


              DIGEST:

                   Decision that contracting agency
                   reasonably determined, on basis of
                   hangar blueprints and preaward survey
                   of facilities, that offeror met
                   definitive responsibility criterion
                   requiring adequate available hangar
                   space for aircraft maintenance is
                   affirmed where protester has presented
                   no new factual grounds showing deter-
                   mination lacked reasonable basis.

                   Aero Corporation requests reconsideration of our
               decision in Aero Corporation, B-201581, May 4, 1981,
               81-1 CPD 338, denying the firm's protest against
the award of a contract by the Department of the Navy
               to Hayes International Corporation for standard depot
               level aircraft maintenance under request for pro-
4posals (RFP) No. N68520-80-R-9021. In so doing, we
               held that the contracting office acted reasonably
               in affirmatively determining that Hayes was capable
               of performing the contract in accordance with the RFP
4requirements, notwithstanding Aero's assertions that
               Hayes' hangar facilities were inadequate to fully
               enclose the aircraft during maintenance operations.
                   Aero has presented no new factual grounds
               demonstrating that our earlier decision was erro-
               neous, but claims as error our finding that the
               Hayes blueprints show six aircraft fully enclosed
               in the hangar, despite the contracting officer's
               statement that the entire aft section of the aircraft
               would not be enclosed in Hayes' hangar. Aero asserts
               that our decision ignored admissions by the Navy
               that the agency did not know what type of structures
               would qualify as hangars under the RFP definitive
