By letter dated January 7, 1976, counsel for Harding Pollution Controls Corporation (Harding) contends that the oil skimmer craft specifications in the contract awarded to Marco Pollution Control (Marco) under solicitation No. N00024-75-B-4208 issued by the Department of the Navy, Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), are not being followed. Harding previously had protested against an award being made to Marco. That protest was considered and denied. Harding Pollu- tion Controls Corporation, B-182899, July 3, 1975, 75-2 CPD 17. Now, counsel for Harding has alleged that the belt used in the Marco oil skimmer craft tested under the contract specifications did not pass the test requirement and that therefore the contract should be terminated. This matter pertains to contract administration which is the function and responsibility of the contracting agency. Matters of contract administration are not for resolution under our bid protest procedures which are reserved for considering whether an award, or pro- posed award, of a contract complies with statutory, regulatory and other legal requirements. See Inter-Alloys Corporation, B-182890, February 4, 1975, 75-1 CPD 79. However, for Harding's information, we have been advised informally that Marco reran the reliability test referred to by Harding infull conformance with the terms of the contract and it was completed sucdessfully. In view of the foregoing, we will not consider the allegations on the merits. Paul G. Dembling General Counsel
