Decision



Matter of: Maritime Global Bank Group

File:        B-272552

Date:        August 13, 1996

A. Patrick Doyle, Esq., James A. Dobkin, Esq., Rosemary Maxwell, Esq., and
Kevin A. Zambrowicz, Esq., Arnold & Porter, for the protester.
Margaret A. Olsen, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency.
Scott H. Riback, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

Protest against the Department of the Navy's execution of an agreement with a
bank for the provision of on-base banking services at a particular installation is
dismissed as beyond General Accounting Office's jurisdiction where record shows
that no procurement action relating to agency's mission, or resulting in a benefit to
the government has occurred.
DECISION

Maritime Global Bank Group protests the proposed selection of the Army National
Bank (ANB) by the Department of the Navy for the establishment of banking
operations at the Naval Training Center (NTC) at Great Lakes, Illinois. Maritime
maintains that the Navy's selection was unreasonable.

We dismiss the protest for lack of jurisdiction.

During January 1996 the Navy, through the publication of newspaper
announcements and letters of solicitation to particular financial institutions, sought
proposals for the establishment of a full-service bank at the NTC. Firms were
requested to provide various information to the Navy relating to the range of
services offered, rate structures, and hours of operation. The Navy received
numerous proposals and, after seeking clarifying information, announced its
selection of ANB. This announcement provided that ANB would be required to
obtain all relevant regulatory approvals and authorizations prior to commencing
operations, and also advised that ANB would be required to enter into a written
agreement with the NTC that specifically outlined the services to be provided.
