I F R

        THE  COMPTROLLER GENERAL
      .OF THE UNITED STATES
        WASHINGTON, D. C. 20548


DATE:  March 1, 1976


MATTER OF: Swiss Controls Inc.


DIGEST:

     Termination of contract for convenience of
     Government is matter of contract administration
     for consideration by agency and not our Office.


     Swiss Controls Inc. protests the termination by the Defense
 Supply Agency of contract No. DSA700-76-C-0783. The contract was
 apparently terminated because the specifications were found to
 be technically deficient. The contract was ferminated for the
 convenience of the Government, and a new solicitation was issued
 incorporating revised specifications. Swiss Controls Inc. contends
 that the contract should not have been terminated as it would have
 corrected the technical problems at no cost to the Government and
 as the price of its contract was the lowest price the Government
 would receive.

     The resolution of whether a contract should be terminated
 for the convenience of the Government and the proper payment due
 as a result thereof are matters of contract administration and,
 therefore, beyond the authority of our Office. Columbia Van Lines,
 Inc.; District Moving and Storage, Inc., 54. Comp. Gen. 955 (1975),
 75-1 CPD 295.

     Accordingly, we may not consider the protest on its merits.


Paul G. D abling
General Counsel
