Rodino, Jr. Chairman, Committee on the Judiciary PtZ- House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: We refer to your letter of August 30, 1979, enclosing copies of H.R. 5066, 96th Congress, lst Session, regarding a iaim for relief bySe-ejD ,S sa oTtr--re-J, against the United States for losses arising out of the denial of contractslunder solicitations Nos. request for quotations (RFQ) DAAAA25-68R-0294, invitation for bids (IFB) DAAA-25-70-0681, IFB DAA2570-B-0697, IFB DAAA25-70-B0735, and IFB DAAB07-70-B-0-468. At the outset, we wish to mention that we believe there are some errors in the solicitation numbers listed in H.R. 5066. Therefore, when we refer to these numbers below, we-have used the numbers indicated by our records to be correct and have underlined the places where they differ from the numbers listed in the bill. Space Systems Laboratories, Inc., filed a protest with our Office concerning RFP DAAA25- 68-R-0294 on March 21, 1968. The Army had found that the company lacked the necessary tenacity and perseverance to perform the con- tract due to its failure to make or maintain adequate arrangements to insure timely deliveries of materials and components from its suppliers and subcontractors. By decision of August 14, 1968 (copy enclosed), we agreed with the procuring agency and denied the protest. However, Space Systems requested that we reconsider our decision. After obtaining additional information from the Army, we concluded in our decision of July 22, 1969 (copy enclosed), that Space Systems was in fact correct and should have been awarded the contract. Due to the extent to which the contract had already been performed, we decided that it was not in the 0074-30
