               You contend that your protest should have been considered
          tinder section 20.2(b) of our procedures.  It iv your position
          that the refucal of the Department of the Uavy to explain fully
          the reason for the rejection of your alternate technical pro-
          posal as unacceptable under ste: 1 of solicitation N00173-73-B-
          0025 constitutes an issue significant to procurement practices
