handle is hein.gao/gaobabdyg0001 and id is 1 raw text is: REPORT BY THE US, General Accounting Office Award Of A Navy Contract To Overhaul The U.S S,,w,,, QaT, Accouinting Office except on the basis of spocific approval by the Office of Congressional Relations. In March 1982, the Navy awarded a contract to overhaul a San Diego-based ship in Por- tland, Oregon. The award was made to the contractor who had the highest estimated cost proposal of four competing shipyards. GAO found that the Navy decided that eva- luation criteria other than cost were more important in this award and that the win- ning shipyard's offer was rated superior by a selection panel over the other offers. Moreover, the selection of the geographical area of the solicitation was a departure from the Navy's policy of repairing ships in their home ports. A joint decision by the Secre- tary of the Navy and other high-ranking Navy officials, made prior to the initiation of the solicitation process, to solicit the award on a coastwide rather than a home port basis was responsible for not following the Navy's home port repair policy. p III I120897lii GAO/PLRD-83-41 ccOUuA,-% MARCH 10, 1983 6a~4z
