          DIGEST

          Awardee's challenge to the amount of its contract price to supply military fuel
          requirements is dismissed because it raises a matter of contract administration over
          which we  do not have jurisdiction.
          DECISION

          Petro Star, Inc., of Anchorage, Alaska, a small business concern, protests that its
          award  price under its contract No. SP0600-08-R-0161 with the Defense Logistics
          Agency, Defense Energy Support Center (DESC), for military fuel requirements for
          the West Coast and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States, should be
          increased.

          We  dismiss the protest because it raises a matter of contract administration over
          which we  do not exercise jurisdiction.

          On April 17, 2008, DESC issued solicitation no. SP0600-08-R-0161 for prices to supply
          bulk petroleum products to various military destinations. Each destination was
          separately listed in the solicitation by item. The request for proposals (RFP)
          provided that 35.47 percent of the procurement was set aside for small business
          concerns. The remainder of the procurement was subject to full and open
          competition. Solicitation clause 1237.06, Notice of Partial Small Business Set-Aside
          (Deviation Mar 1999), specified the manner in which the set-aside prices would be
          determined:
