Agency improperly awarded contract for security guard services to low bidder's successor in interest where, after bid opening and before award, the bidder was sold in its entirety, but the evidence in the record does not establish that, apart from the low bid, the assets transferred pursuant to the sale were of more than negligible value. Since the sale of the business thus was tantamount to the improper sale of the bid, low bidder's successor in interest may not receive award of the contract. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-275908-2/html/GAOREPORTS-B-275908-2.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-275908-2/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-275908-2.pdf GAO/B-275908.2 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-275908-2 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-275908.2; Premier Security, B-275908.2, July 14, 1997; Title 31 Section 3727 31 U.S.C. 3727 Title 41 Section 15 Title 41 Section 15(a) 41 U.S.C. 15 41 U.S.C. 15(a)
