        ra.;otiutei procurement befre avard4 we are restricted in our
        recitation of the facts.

(            You mintain that the Department improperly failed to give you
       enough time to submit a proposal on a cost basis. For the reasons
       discussed below, we cannot agree with your' complaint.

            The sM, as issued, provftded that offerors were required to
       submit fixed-pv'tce proposals; that proposals to use a differant
       type contract should set forth specifically why the type of contract
       proposed would be more beneficial to the parties; and that the
       Department would finally determine the type of contract during
       utaotiatlons.

            Your concern an'J several other companies submitted proposals
       by July 6. 1972, ths amended closing date for the submission of
       proposals. Therdter, the Department made a technical evaluation
       of the proposals. The evaluators subsequently decided that the pro-
       posals of your company and other concerns should be clarifiedl there-
       fore, by letter of Augupt 25, 1972, the contracting officer requested
       ofrerors to ansfr several questions. The letter also provided that
       the written nswers and any revisions to an offeror's proposal were
       to be submitted on a fixed-rice basis by September 6, 1972.
