Decision



Matter of: Trandes Corporation

File:       B-271662

Date:       August 2, 1996

Daniel A. Perkowski, Esq., for the protester.
David W. Burgett, Esq., Hogan & Hartson, for ManTech Advanced Systems
International, Inc., the intervenor.
Elizabeth Rivera Bagwell, Esq., and Otto A. Thompson, Jr., Esq., Department of the
Navy, for the agency.
Henry J. Gorczycki, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General
Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

A succession of interest in, or a transfer of, a proposal has not occurred where an
initial proposal is prepared and submitted by one unincorporated operating unit of
the offeror corporation and subsequent revised proposals are prepared and
submitted by another unincorporated operating unit of the same corporation,
because the legal offering entity under the proposal, i.e., the offeror corporation,
has not changed.
DECISION

Trandes Corporation protests an award to ManTech Field Engineering Company
(MFE Co.), a division of ManTech Advanced Systems International, Inc. (MASI)
under request for proposals (RFP) No. N00604-93-R-0056, issued by the Department
of the Navy, Fleet and Industrial Supply Center, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, for
engineering, installation and support services for electronic and communication
equipment and systems on board naval vessels and on shore stations worldwide.

We deny the protest.

The Navy issued the RFP on June 18, 1993, contemplating award of an indefinite-
delivery/indefinite-quantity, time-and-materials contract on a best value basis for a
base period with four 1-year options. The Navy received initial proposals from
three offerors, including Trandes and MASI. On April 1, 1994, after conducting
discussions, and requesting and receiving best and final offers (BAFO), the Navy
awarded the contract to MASI. Trandes protested this award to our Office. We
sustained the protest because the agency's cost evaluation was unreasonable.
Trandes Corp., B-256975.3, Oct. 25, 1994, 94-2 CPD   221.
