       The Honorable A. Vernon Weaver

         Administration

       Dear Mr. Weaver:

            This is our decision on theLslaim of the Security
       Bank & Trust Company, Lawton, Oklahoma (--k-1Jagainst  '
M3     thfemall, Bsiness Administration7 mSBA) arising from
       an 8(a) contract arrangement irrolving Bluford Ser-
       vice Company (Bluford) for food services at Fort Sill,
       Oklahoma. The factual basis for the decision was
       provided by documented reports from the SBA and the
       Department of the Army, and we have considered the
       positions of all parties. We conclude that the
       Government is not liable to the Bank.

   K   I. Factual Summary

            Under the provisions of section 8(a) of the Small
       Business Act, the SBA entered into prime contract
       No. DABT39-76-C-3164, dated September 20, 1976, with
       the Army. The SBA subcontracted the performance of
       this 1-year contract to provide cooks and dining
       facility attendants at Fort Sill by entering into
       subcontract No. SB6328(a) 77C-700, dated October 1,
       1976, with Bluford.

            Based upon a valid assignment of contract proceeds,
       the Bank granted a line of credit to Bluford in the         -
       amount of $80,000 to be repaid from the bimonthly
       contract payments each of which exceeded $80,000. The
       assignment authorized and directed that contract pay-
       ments be made directly to the Bank. Originally, the            \b
       prime contract covered the period from October 1,
       1976, through September 30, 1977, but the contract         V  _
       period was extended by contract modifications through
       September 30, 1978. A February 25, 1978, modifica-
       tion provided that the contract could be terminated
