Trajen, Inc.

Trajen, Inc. protests the decision of the Department of the Navy's appeal authority, pursuant to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-76, that it would be more economical to operate and maintain in-house the Defense Fuel Support Point (DFSP) Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, rather than to contract for these services under request for proposals (RFP) No. SPO600-99-R-0005, issued by the Defense Energy Support Center, Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). Trajen challenges the appeal authority's cost comparison decision on numerous grounds and argues that if the cost comparison is adjusted to correct errors, the cost of performance under a contract with Trajen would be lower than the cost of in-house performance.
