i see that at any point of time, you'll be handling two files. since you're familiar with awk, the following may work for you, even though I agree perl might be a better tool for the job.

for FILE_1 in file_b file_c
do

#Read file_a line by line
while read file1line
do
#Extract the column from file_b or file_c that you want to compare to in file a
coltocompare_bc=`awk blah blah`

#Here, get the column from file a
coltocompare_a=`awk blah blah`

#Here compare coltocompare_bc and coltocompare_a and do what you like.
echo "Maybe this will work, maybe not"

done < FILE_1

done
