        Cent lemon ;

             This refers to your letters of October 20, 1972 and April 2, 1973,
        requesting reconsideration of our dcision B-170942, September 8, 1971,
        in vhich we denied your protest relative to the award of a subcontract,
        to Idealnb, Incorporated (Idealab), for a high resolution fourier ,tI.:
        transform spectrometer system under General riectric Company's (E's)     .
        prime cntract with the National Aeronautici; ia, Space Administrntion,,)
        (HASA) 0           *4ifCebt063&6

             In your protest yon =ade a number of contentions concerning g's
        evaluation of your proposal and Idealab's proposal and you urged that
        your firm was entitled to' the award. For the reasons stated it our
        decision we found no basis to question GE's selection of Idealab as
        the successful offeror and your protest wan denied,

             The contentions in your letter of October 20 were that the
        Idealab unit was delivered late; that it did not meet specifications
        and that Langley Research Center (LRO) was using the unit for ito own
        general purposes, A statement was made in your letter that the unit
        can't be found and you urged that the reason for this wAs to avoid
        testing of the unit. You have urged that these events prove the
        validity of your initial protest.

             We requested NASA to furnish a report on the matters raised in
        your letter. NASA's report stated that the Idoalab unit had been
        delivered late for the raasons stated in our decision to you of Septem-
        ber 8, 1971. Our decision was referred to as Attachment A in NASA'
        report. The report further stated that the Idealab unit was used in
        connection with experiments required under GE's prime contract. With
