handle is hein.gao/gaocrptaejx0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: Gulf Copper Ship Repair, Inc. File: B-272830 Date: September 25, 1996 William A. Scott, Esq., Martin Law Firm, for the protester. Keith L. Baker, Esq., Jeffrey E. Weinstein, Esq., and Timi E. Nickerson, Esq., Eckert Seamans Cherin & Mellott, for South Texas Ship Repair, Inc., an intervenor. Rhonda L. Russ, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Paula A. Williams, Esq., and Michael R. Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Award of a contract for less than the actual quantity of work initially solicited was proper where the solicitation specifically informed offerors that the agency may award a contract for any item or group items listed in the solicitation unless an offeror qualified the acceptance terms of its offer, which was not the case here. DECISION Gulf Copper Ship Repair, Inc. protests the award of a contract to South Texas Ship Repair, Inc., under request for proposals (RFP) No. N68958-96-R-0027, issued by the Resident Supervisor of Shipbuilding, Conversion and Repair, Department of the Navy for the post shakedown availability (PSA) of the USS ORIOLE (MHC 55).1 Gulf Copper contends that award to South Texas based on initial proposals was improper because the Navy should have requested revised proposals after it deleted one of three production sub-line items from the solicitation following receipt of initial offers but prior to award. We deny the protest. 'Typically, a PSA is performed after the delivery of a newly built, activated or converted ship. The work includes correction of defects noted during the ship's guaranty period, correction of deficiencies remaining from the acceptance trials, and performance of class modifications that were not undertaken during the ship's construction. 511925
