DATE:
December 3, 1981
MATTEfR OF:
Suba II, Inc.
DIGEsr:
Federal Procurement Regulation S 1-4.1109-6 require-
ment that agency publish Commerce Business Dai]y
announcement of agency's intent to convert Auto-
mated Data Processing Equipment from lease to
purchase under General Soc'uices Administration
schedule contract is a necessary prerequisite
to the exercise of a purchase option for such
equipment,
Suba Ili Inc. protests the Army's exercise of an
option to purchase certain installed computer equipment
which the Army had been leasing from IB11 under its
General Services Administration (GSA) schedule con-
tract No. GS-OOC-02542. Suba asserts that the Army
failed to publish a synopsis of the intended purchase
in the Commerce Business Daily (CBD) before the purchase
in sufficient time for potential suppliers to respond.
Suba contends that identical equtpment was readily avail-
able from other sources and that a competitive procure-
ment would have saved the Government $20,000. We sustain
the protest.
