MATTER  OF:     Bucks County Association for
                the Blind--Reconsideration

DIGEST:                       4e T
1.   Prior decision dismissing protest as untimely
     is affirmed and protest will not be considered
     since matter does not raise a significant
     issue within meaning-of Bid Protest Proce-

wage rate determination pursuant to the Service Contract
Act of 1965 (SCA), 41 U.S.C. 351 et seq. (1976), should
have specified a uniform nation-wide rate rather than
the different rates prevailing in the localities where
the services would be performed. In addition, Bucks County
protested that the job classifications utilized in the
solicitations were not uniform in number or title for

raises issues significant to procurement practice and
procedure and therefore should be reconsidered in
