               nonresponsible is dismissed where matter has been referred
               to SEA for final disposition under Section 501 of P.L. 95-89.

               Dunlin Corporation (Dunlin), a small business, has protested
          the U.S. Navy's determination that Dunlin has been unable to demon-
          strate its responsibility to perforn under solicitations No. N00104-
          77-B-0773 and N00104-77-B-C774.

               Section 501 of P.L. 95-89, 91 Stat. 561, amending Section 8(b)
          of the Small Business Act of 1958, states that the Small Business
          Admitistration (SBA) is empowered in its discretion:

               To certify to Government procurement officers
               and officers engaged in the sale and disposal
               of Federa, property, with respect to all elements
               of responsibility, in:luding but not limited to
               capability, competency, capacity, credit, integrtty
               perseverance, and tenacity, of any small business
               concern or group of such concerns to receive and
               perform a specific Governtent contract. A Govern-
               ment procurement officer or an officer engagnd in
               the sale and dispasal of Federal property may not,
               for any reason sv-cified in the preceding sentence,
               precliide any small bisiness concern or group of
               such concerns from being awarded such contract
               without referring the matter for final disposition
               to the Administration.

         The Navy has advised us that the matter has been referred to SBA
         for final disposition.

               Accordingly, the protest is dismissed.
