DIGEST:


                  I.Protester's arguments against Army regulation
                      serving as detailed justification requited by
                      OMB CircuharA-76 Cost Comparison Handbook
                      for placing installation laundry facilttles
                      in standby status fall to show that the iuclu-
                      siqn of standby costs in-cost comparision of
                      two methods of contracting out work previously
   4                  performed in-house was unreasonable. Army
                      regulation is the Army'ai policy determination
   .I                 on keeping laundry facilities in standby status
                      so that adequate laundry service will be avail-
   Sable to its installations.
   -,             2. The protester has the burden to present evidence
                      suffici'ent to affirmatively establisb its
                      allegations.  GAO will not conduct investigations
                      for the purpose of establishing the validity of
                      the protester's unsubstantiated statements,

 A                3. OMB Circular A-76 Cost Comparison Handbook does
                      not distinguish between methods of contracting
                      out for purposes of including or excluding cost
                      items.  The handbook provides that a figure for
                      cost of capital for assets which must be
                      retained by the Government to assure performance
                      in the event of contract delay or disruptian will
                      be considered.

                      Crown Laundry'& Dry Cleanee's, Inc. (Crown),
                  requests reconsideration of our decision in Crown
