MVATTER OF:
             Southern.Wood Piedmont Company-- .
DIGEST   I     Reconsider  ion                [


Where issue raised is also before
Contract Appeals Board, decision
declining to rule on issue is
affirmed since firm may not argue
same issue before two forums.


      The Southern Wood Piedmont Company (Southern
Wood) requests that we reconsider our reconsideration
(Southern Wood Piedmont Company--Reconsideration,
B-194380, July 27, 1979, 79-2 CPD 58) of the original
decision on Southern Wood's allegation of a mistake
in bid as submitted to our Office by the Department
of the Interior (Department of the Interior, B-194380,
April 17, 1979, 79-1 CPD 271).

     In its first request for reconsideration, Southern
Wood contended that there was not an adequate verifica-
tion request and offered as proof the testimony of one
of its employees. Southern Wood states in its second
request for reconsideration that it can provide testimony
from a competing bidder on the procurement to support
its position that verification was not proper.

     In the first reconsideration we noted that:

          Southern Wood states that it has
     filed an appeal under the disputes clause            3
     of the contract with the Contract Appea-s-
     Board of the  nonartment of the Interior
     'over the facts surrounding the mistake
     and our bid, * * *'

We, consequently, declined to reconsider our decision
on the basis that we did not believe that a firm should
be allowed to pursue the same matter before two forums.
