                          THE  COMPTROLLER GENERAL
  DECISION               . OF  THE   UNITED STATES
                           WASHINGTON, D. C. 20548




  FILE:   B-193227              OATE:March 16, 1979

  MATTER   OF: Jazco Corporation


    IGEST:

1.   Protest filed after closing date for receipt
     of proposals, which alleges that 1) wide scope
     of services solicited by RFP unduly restricts
     competition, 2) RFP's failure to specifically
     provide for awards to small and minority
     businesses violates Small Business Act and
     Federal antitrust laws, and 3) RFP was contrary
     to law because it failed to provide for
     consideration of cost is untimely and not

     contractor violated terms of RFP is without
     merit, since while RFP stated that more than
     one contractor might be selected, there was
     no requirement that more than one contractor
     be selected.

posals (RFP) No. EAS78-1, issued by Brookhaven National
Laboratory (Brookhaven), a Government-owned facility
operated by Associated Universities, Inc., under a
cost-type prime contract with the Department of Energy
(DOE).  Jazco asserts, among other things, that the
RFP was unduly restrictive of competition and that the
failure of the RFP to specifically provide for awards
to small or minority businesses violated the Small
Business Act and Federal antitrust laws.

     On July 5, 1978, Brookhaven issued an RFP for
supplemental engineering assistance for its energy and
environment department.  The purpose of the solicitation
