handle is hein.gao/gaobaddiq0001 and id is 1 raw text is: 8 ~ THE COMPTROLLER GRENERAL DECISION OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON, D.C. 2o546 FILE: B-187075 DATE: 'August 9, 1976 MATTER OF: Becker & Goldstein, Inc. DIGEST: Since conclusive authority to decide small business size status of bidder is vested by statute in SBA, our Office is precluded from considering protests involving such matter. Becker & Goldstein, Inc. (B&G), protests the award of a contract under invitation for bids No. N62472-75-B-0439, issued by the Department of the Navy, Naval Facilities Engineering Com- mand. Counsel for B&G maintains that the apparent successful bidder, Blakselee, Arpaia & Chapman, Inc., is not a small busi- ness and should not receive an award. Bids were opened on July 20, 1976, and B&G protested Blakselee's size status to the contracting officer on July 21, 1976. The issue raised by B&G concerns the size status of Blakselee. Under 15 U.S.C. § 637(b)(6) (1970), conclusive authority to deter- mine the size status of bidders rests with the Small Business Admin- istration. Consequently, our Office is precluded from considering the matter. Tate Engineering, Inc., B-186788, July 23, 1976. In view of this we are closing our file on the matter without further action. Paul G. Dembling General Counsel - 1 -
