  MATTER   F:Virginia-Maryland Associates, Inc.

  DIGEST:
  1. Protest that offeror not be considered
     eligible supplier based upon alleged
     prior deficient performance is dismissed,
     since Government's acceptance of respon-
     sive Offer effectively bindn offeror to
     pcrform in accordance with terms of solici-
     tation and whether offeror is able to do so
     is matter of responsibility, and agency's
     affirmative determination thereof will
     not b. reviewed by GAO except in limited
     circumstances.
  2. Whether contractor is complying with
     requirements of contracts is matter of
     contract administration, ind not-for GAO
     co'sideration

     Virginia-Maryland Associates, Inc. (VMA), has pro-
tested against any contract award for lamps being made
to G.F.C. Manufacturing Company (GFC) under solicitation
No. PEHP-P-5039-A-6-21-78, issued by the Federal Supply
Service (PSS). VMA has also protested the alleged failure
of GPC to comply with specifications and delivery schedules
under two previous contracts with FSS for lamps (contracts
Nos. FEHP-Pl-71684--A-12-lG-76 and FEHP-PI-7193-N-4-15-77).
     VMA alleges that GFC has supplied and PSS has accepted
products which did not conform to the Government's specifi-
cation (Nil. Spec. MIL-L-28583) and which were delivered
late under the twe previous contracts. VMA requests that
GFC be removed from consideration as an eligible supplier
under the current solicitation (PFEP-P-5039-A-6-21-78)
based upon its allegedly deficient performance under the
two previous contracts for lamps. VMA elso asks that our
Office require FSS to reject all nonconforming products
delivered by GFC under the two prior contracts and to
terminate these contracts.
