                           Reconsideration

       d A    DIGEST:

                Request for reconsideration of prior
                decision declining to take any action
                on request for review of contract award
                by grantee because matter had been decided
                on merits by court of ctmpetent jurisdiction
                is denied and prior decision affirmed because
                court's order constituteC final adjudication
                of issues raised.


                Pullman Standard, Inc. (Pullman), has requested
           reconsideration of our decision in the matter of Pullman
           Standar4  Inc., 8-190254, November 28, 1977, in which
           we diclined to take any action on the request for review
           by Pullman of the award of a cont':act by the Greater

           Administration.

               The  reason our Office declineJ to decide the
           matter was because Pullman had sought judicial relief
           in the United States District Court for the District
           of Columbia, whi ..h after considering the merits,
           entered judgment for the defendants on October 25, 1977
           (Civil Action No. 77-1686). In view of this action
           and consistent with the policy of our Office not to
           consider matters which h:-?.e been decided on the merits
           by a court of competent jurisdiction, we closed our
           file.

               Pullman now contends that our Office should
           consider the merits of its request, notwithstanding
           the District Court opinion, because such a decision
