Hopktins United States House of Pepresentatives 400 East Main Street Lexington, Kentucky 40507 Dear Mr. Hopkins: We refer to your letter dated June 5, 1981, enclosing correspondence from Professor Richard R. Clayton of the University of Kentucky. From the correspondence, it appears that Professor Clayton is associated with the Institute for Survey Research at Temple University (Temple). This organization submitted a proposal in response to request for proposals No. 271-81-1702, which was issued by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and solicited offers for a project entitled National Survey on Drug Abuse. NIDA, however, rejected Temple's proposal as late and refused to consider it for the award. Professor Clayton pro- tests this'decision. On May 8, 1981, Temple filed a protest with our Office arguing that, in view of the particular facts of this case, NIDA should consider its propo- sal even though the proposal was technically late. However, by decision of June 16, 19 81, copy enclosed, we held that Temple's protest to our Office was untimely. Therefore, we dismissed the protest without considering it on the merits. In light of this prior decision, we do not believe it is proper for us to consider on the merits Professor Clayton's protest, apparently submitted on behalf of Temple. Our Bid Protest Procedures, 4 C.F.R. part 20 (1980), are intended to provide fair and equitable procedural standards for all parties to a protest. 72~Li ,~_/__ 62/76- 7L;,
