The National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE) protests an award of a contract by the United States Air Force (AF) to Lear Sicgler, 'Inc., Management Uervices Division. The contract is for corrosion contirol services which NFFE contends could be per- formed by federal employees at less cost to the Government. NFFE asserts that the corl~ract violates the provisions of Office of Management and Budget Circular A-76 because no coant comparison study was made before the AF decided to contrct:t for such services and because the AF is providing facilities, transportation and supervision for the personnel of the contractor. The issue raised by NFFE is'not one which is appropriate for resolution under the Bid Protest Procedures of this Office. This Office regards the proviuions of Circular A-76 as matters of Executive Policy which do not establish legal rights and responsibilities and which are not within the decision functions of the General Accounting Office, 53 Comp. Gen. 86 (1973) and Universal 'American Enterprises, Inc., B-184555, May 26, 1976, 76-1 CPD 341. Accordingly, the protest is dismissed. Paul G. D mbling A General Counsel - 1 -
