handle is hein.gao/gaocrptasnb0001 and id is 1 raw text is: A G A O Comptroller General . Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 Decision Matter of: Computers Universal, Inc. File: B-297552 Date: February 14, 2006 Peter L. Cannon for the protester. Jonathan A. Beyer, Esq., Department of Defense, for the agency. Katherine I. Riback, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency unreasonably evaluated protester's quotation for repairing a vehicle tracking system when it added to protester's price, for evaluation purposes, the protester's proposed increase in telecommunications charges under another contract for maintaining the system, without first verifying with the protester whether costs for necessary telecommunications to accomplish the purchase order work were already included in the purchase order price. DECISION Computers Universal, Inc. (CUI) protests the issuance of a purchase order to WINTEK IT, CO., LTD., by the Department of Defense Dependents Schools (DoDDS), pursuant to an oral solicitation, to reestablish operability of the Korea Vehicle Tracking System (KVTS). CUI contends that award was improperly made at a higher price than quoted by CUI. We sustain the protest. DoDDS is the overseas educational division of the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) that operates schools worldwide for students in United States military communities. The agency asserts that the safe transportation of these students to and from their schools is integral to DoDEA's mission. In this regard, the KVTS was designed to track the buses and students being transported to and from DoDDS throughout South Korea using global positioning system and digital telecommunications technologies. In order for the KVTS to function properly the system must be connected to an active telecommunications server. Agency Supplemental Report, Declaration of Logistics Division Chief.
