      Dear Mr. Bennett:

            This is in response to your letter of September 9,
       1980, requesting that we reopen our file concerning
       the protest of your client under the Forest Service's
       solicitation No. R6-80-284C issued by Region 6. We
       closed our file because you did not respond to our
       request of August 7, 1980, for a statement of your
       continued interest in the protest.

            You acknowledge that through inadvertence you
      did not submit a written discussion regarding the
      position of the protester. You state, however, that
      you were under the impression that you were waiting
      for verification from this Office that you had received
      the full agency report on the matter. You requested
      such verification by letter of August 4, 1980, addressed
      to Ms. Karen Maris of this Office.

           Our records indicate that Ms. Marns spoke with
      you by phone on August 12, 1980. At that time, you
      were advised of the contents of the agency report as
      received by this Office, and you verified that you had
      everything but a copy of the transmittal letter from
      the Forest Service. Ms. Maris read that letter, .which
      was quite brief, to you, and you said that you would
      proceed to comment on the basis of that information.
      You also acknowledged that you had received our letter
      of August 7, 1980.

            You also indicate that our Bid Protest Procedures,
       contained at 4 C.F.R. part 20 (1980), provide (at
       section 20.3(e)) only that failure to file comments
       in a timely manner may result in resolution of the
