B-198811.3



                                               to
The Honorable Harry F. Byrd, Jr.               t  ,,
United States Senate                                -A

Dear Senator Byrd:

     This is in response to your letter of
December 3, 1980(y), on behalf of Mr. Charles D. T.
Lennhoff, counsel for National Systems Management
Corporation (NSM). With that letter, you enclosed a
copy of a letter of November 21, 1980, from
Mr. Lennhoff concerning our decisions in National
Systems Management Corporation, B-198811, October 10,
1980, 80-2 CPD 268, and National Systems Management
Corporation--Reconsideration, B-198811, November 19,

to VSE Corporation under request for proposals
No. N00123-79-R-1518 issued by the Naval Regional
Contracting Office (NRCO), Long Beach, California.
In the first decision, we found that NSM's protest
was untimely filed. That decision was affirmed in
the reconsideration decision.

    One of NSM's allegations in the first decision
was that the contract was not awarded on the same
basis on which proposals were evaluated, since the
contract included 48 labor rates while the proposals
were ealuated on the basis of only seven rates.
According to the protester, some of the improperly
included rates were higher than the evaluated rates
and would, therefore, result in an overpayment to the
contractor. In response to the protest, the Navy
stated that the 48 labor categories and rates had
in fact been inadvertently included in the contract,
but that the error had been corrected by modification
P00002. The Navy also stated that the contractor
