DIGEST

Protests that agency's cost evaluation of proposals was unreasonable are sustained
where cost analyses used to determine the evaluated low cost offer were based
upon unsupported agency quantity estimates and inappropriate evaluation
provisions.
DECISION

L.K. Comstock, Inc. and Liebert Federal Systems, Inc. protest the award of a
contract to Exide Electronics Corporation under request for proposals (RFP)
No. F04606-94-R-0002, issued by the Department of the Air Force, Sacramento
Air Logistics Center, for three-phase 125-1000 kVA Static Uninterruptible Power
Supplies (SUPS)/SUPS Systems and SUPS-related services (including support
services for installation, ancillary equipment, warranty, start-up, emergency/
preventative maintenance, training, and data) in the United States and overseas.
The protesters challenge the agency's evaluation of the proposals and the
determination that Exide's proposal offered the lowest cost and best value to the
government.

We sustain the protests.
