Large Contract For Purchase

Of Letter Sorting Machines

         By . Postal Service





On  December 13, 1974, Senator Stuart
Symington of Missouri requested that CAO
review a Pos .! Service procurement award to
the Burroughs Cotporation. Under the Postal
Reorganization Act, the Service was author-
ized to settle its own accounts, consequently,
GAO has no authu: ity to rule on bid protests
or othrwise rule on the legality of the Serv-
ice's procurement practices.
lThus, GAO's examination was iimi~ed to (1)
'whether the Service's procurement prucedures
were followed and (2} whether any of the
firms competing for the contract received
favored treatment. GAO concluded that the
answer for (1) was affirmative and for (2)
negative.
