M4ATTER OF:
            Greenbrier Industries, Inc.

DIGEST:
      BEA requested time extension from DPSC to process
      protester's COC application, necessitated be;:ause
      inpdequate information was submitted by protester's
      subcontractor, Protest against DPSC refusal to
      grant extension and resultant SBA denial of COC
      is denied.  Granting of extensions is dis-
      cretionary with Government--bidder's interests
      are not controlling--and protester waz responsible
      for submitting complete and adequate COC applica-
      tion, granting or denial of which is not reviewable
      by GAO.

      Invitation for bidb (IFBI Mo. DLA100-78-B-0030
 was issuid on October 14, 1977, by the Defense Personnel
 Support Center (bPSC) of the Defense Logistics Agenc.?
 for 45,892 sweatshirts.  Bids were opened on November 3,
 and Greenbrier Industries, Inc. (Greenbrier), a small
 business firm, was the low bidder.

      A preaward survey resulted in a negative determina-
 tion regarding Greenbrier's responsibility. Greenbrier
 then filed an application with the Small Basiness Adminis-
 tration (SBA) for a certificate cf competency (COC) and
 was advised by SBA that all pertinent information had
 to be submitted by January 17, 1978.

      On January 11, Greenbrier requested that SBA
 extend the date for submission of the COC data to                     F
 January 23. The request was approved, and SBA accordingly
 revised the closing date for processing the application
 to February 3.  Greenbrier submitted the data by the
 required date.
      On January 27, DPSC afforded SBA an extension
 until February 9 to ptocess Greenbrier's COC application,
 made necessary because of time lost due to adverse
 weather conditions.
