      MATTER OF:    Nordair Ltd.


      OIGEST:
      1. Claim based on 12 invoices for air transporta-
           tion and warehousing services provided under
           Air Force contract may not be considered since
           services under invoices were performed more
           than 6 years before claim was received by
           General Accounting Office. Therefore,
           31 U.S.C. § 71a (1976) prevents considera-
           tion of claim.

       2. Claim based on three invoices for similar services
           is denied since:  (1) first invoice evidences
           claim against private party, not Government;
           (2) copy of second invoice has not been sub-
           mitted and record does not show any other
           documentation to support payment of claimed
           amount; and (3) third invoice evidences fuel
           charge which was cost to contractor, not Govern-
           ment.


           On November 7, 1979, our Office received a
       claim for $6,699.22 from Nordair Ltd. for the pay-
ZZ- ment of 15 invoices dating back to 1972 and 1973
       for air transportation and warehousing services)
       provided to the Air Force.

            On November 13, 1980, our Claims Group informed
       Nordair that the claimed payment for 12 of the invoices
       (X207011, X208020, X209032, N209072, X211024, X301012,
       X302020, X303006, X304028, X305051, X306022, and X307013)
       could not be considered since the claim was received by
       our Office more than 6 years after the invoices' dates
       (all prior to September 1973), therefore, the claim for
       -these invoices was considered to be barred by 31 U.S.C.
       § 71a (1976), which provides:
