MATTER  OF:


Keco Industries, Inc.


DIGEST:

1.   Whether awardee is a small business or
     manufacturer is for determination by Small
     Business Administration, not by GAO.

2.   Protest based on assumption that SBA Size
     Appeals Board will rule awardee is not small
     business concern and that it would follow
     that awardee certified itself as small in
     bad faith is dismissed as premature, parti-
     cularly where SBA regional office found
     awardee to be small.

3.   Invitation requirement that bidder indicate
     in its bid its production point generally
     involves matter of bidder responsibility, not
     bid responsiveness.

4.   Allegation that bidder is nonresponsible
     because it indicated in its bid that pro-
     duction would occur at one location, but
     later changed production point to more ade-
     quate facilities, is not for -review by GAO,
     which does not review contracting officer's
     affirmative determination of responsibility
     except in circumstances not present here.

     Keco Industries, Inc. (KECO) protests the award of
a contract by the U.S. Army Troop Support and Aviation
Materiel Readiness Command to the Crippen and Graen
Corporation (CCC) under invitation for bids (IFB) No.
DAAJO9-80-B-5116.  The protester alleges that CCC is
not a small business, is not the manufacturer of the
