DIGEST: Where' SBA declines to appeal contracting officer's determination of nonresponsibility as to bidder's tenacity, perseverance ,or integrity, GAO will no longer-undertake to review the contracting officer's determination in the absence of a compelling reason to justify such a review, such as a showing of'fraud or bad faith by procuring officials. 49 Comp. Gen. 600 (1970) modified. Building Maintenance Specialists, Inc., a small business concern, was the third low' bidder under invitaticn for'bids (IFB) No. DACW38-74-B-0109, issued by the Tulsa District Corps of Engi- neers, for cleaning services at Millwood Lake, Arkansas. Upon the. disqualification of the first and second low bidders. Buildine Maintenance was considered for award but was--subsequently rejected as nonresponsible pursuant to Armed Services Procurement Regulation (ASPR) 1-903.1(iii) (1974 ed.), for its past unsatisfactory performance. The contracting officer's preaward survey of Building Main- tenance revealed two recent instances of unsatisfactory performance. The Chief of the Vicksburg District Corps of.Engineers advised that the firm's performance was deficient under contract No. DACW38-73-C- 0345, awarded June 22, 1973, for cleanup and mowing services at DeGray Lake, Arkadelphia, Arkansas. Mowing services were not fully performed- and the firm's garbage compactor truck was abandoned on the premises filled with its contents. As a result, removal of the truck.and per- formance of other contract work was executed 'by Government personnel. Also, on May 20, 1974, Building Maintenance was terminated for default since it failed to initiate performance under Louisville District Corps of Engineers contract No. DACW27-74-C-0130, awarded on March 28, 1974, for cleaning and mowing services at the Rough River Lake, Kentucky.
