              MATTER OF:    McQuiston Associates--Reconsideration


              DIGEST:


              1. Question of whether contract should
                  be terminated for default and whether
                  defaulted contractor should be held
                  liable for excess reprocurement cost
                  is a matter within the jurisdiction
                  of the Armed Services Board of Con-
                  tract Appeals under the disputes
                  clause of the contract and is not
                  for consideration by GAO.
               2. Dismissal of protest against award as
                  untimely is affirmed since protester
                  knew of award on May 1, 1980, and
                  believed that it was improper but did
                  not protest until May 19, 1980, which
                  was more than 10 working days later.


                  McQuiston Associates (McQuiston) requests that
               we reconsider our decision in McQuiston Associates,
               B-199013, September 1, 1981, 81-2 CPD 192.

                   Our decision denied McQuiston's protest against
               the United States Army Missile Command's failure to
               invite it to bid under invitation for bids (IFB)
               DAAH01-80-B-0556 for the reprocurement of the
               terminated portion of McQuiston's contract. The
               basis for the denial was that competition and a
               reasonable price were obtained on the reprocurement
               and it did not appear that the contracting officer
               intended to exclude McQuiston from bidding on the
               reprocurement. Our decision also dismissed
               McQuiston's protest against the award of order 145
               on the basis that the protest was untimely.
