         Dear Mr. Tierney:

             In your letter of August 3, 1981, concerning this pro-
         test, you stated that you had understood from my letter of
         June 16 that I had reluctantly agreed with you that the
         file on the protest had been closed improperly, and that
         Mr. Mitchell of my staff has appeared to take a position
         inconsistent with mine in his subsequent letter of July 23.
         Your understanding of my June 16 letter is incorrect: I
         agree with Mr. Mitchell that the file was properly closed.

            You have again asked whether there is an agency which
        resolves bid protests involving nonappropriated funds. We
        are aware of no independent agency which resoles bid pro-
        tests concerning nonappropriated funds. If such a protest
        cannot be resolved with the procuring agency concerned, the
        aggrieved party's only recourse would be to file suit in a
        court of competent jurisdiction.

                                    Sincerely yours,



                                A   Harry R. Van Cleve
                                    Acting General Counsel
