                 DIGEST:
                 1.   Complaints concerning evaluation criteria
                      used by housing authorities to evlu-
                      ate proposals for turnkey construction
                      of public housing are untimely because
                      they involve improprieties apparent ozi
                      the face of the solicitations but were
                      not filed before the closing dates set
                      for receipt of proposals.

                 2.   In a negotiated procurement, award is
                      not required to be made solely on the
                      basis of cost. or price, and absent a
    Ishowing that the evaluation was not
                      conducted in conformance with the evalu-
    I                 ation system provided for in the solic-
                      itation, an award is not improper simply
   $because it was made to a higher priced
   f iofferor.

                     J. Rose Corporation cnmplains about the rejection
                 of its offers to design and construct housing for the
                 elderly in response to solicitations issued by the
                 Lehigh (Pennsylvania) County Housing Authority and the
   I             Housing Authority of the City of Pottsville, Pennsyl-
 ' I            vania. Both projects are being developed under the
                 turnkey method of public housing construction pursuant
   I tto annual contributions contracts between the housing
                 authorities and the Department of Housing and Urban
 .,              Development (JIUD). le dismiss the complaints in part
                 and deny them in part.

                     J. Rose contends that the proposal evaluation cri-
                 teria used by the housin- authorities (which are pre-
                 scribed by the [IUID lousing Handbook) place unreasonable
