             not sbj ect to review by .A0.

          2.  Protest that contractor is afftliated with debarred firms
              and Ineligible for award Is not for conrideration by GA0,
              since Service Contract Act provides that Federal agency
              bead an Secr-stary of Labor are to eaforce act; such enforce-
              at  powers including making deteruinations regarding affills-
              tion.


              Intesrity Managenmat Intrnatlanal, Inc. (Integrity), has
          protested th award of a m--s attendant seriices contract to
          Dpeteria  Inc., under solicitation No.. DAKF14-76-B-0193, by the
          United States Army Support Command Hawaii, Fort Shaftar, Hawaii.
          Integrity's bases for prottist are that (1) Dyneteria is not a emall
          business ancern as required by the solicitation and the Army
          therefore 3jas not authorised to proceed witL the procurement absent a
          size detenination by the Small Busines Administration (SBA); and
          (2) Dynetats is affiliated hithtwo firms, I.e., Dynamics Enterprises
          and Dynamia International, which have been debarred for violations
          of the Soritee Contract Act of 1965, 41 U.S.C. S 351, It seq. (1970),
          and was therefore ineligible for award.

              On Octkber 28, 1976, the 1BA deLermined that Dyneteria was a
          mall busines  for thisprourement. Under 15 U.S.C I 637(B)(6)
          (1970)g theISBA's decision as to the size status of a concern is
          conclusiveand not subject to review by our Office. La Crosse
          Carment ManufacturingCompany, B-187243, Septembar 2, 1976, 76-2
          CFD 216, and cases cited therein.

          -    Integrity's allegation that Dyneteria is affiliated with debarred
          firms and ineligible for award Is al'o not for consideration by our
          Office, since the Service Contract Act provides that the Federal
          agency head and the Secretary of Labor are to enforce the act; such











                                                                                     1
