OECISION        ow       OF THE UNITED        STATES

FILE:    B-206272.2            OATE: 'Tovember 2, 1982

MATTER OF:    Civic Action Institute--Reconsideration


DIGEST:


1.   When 'new facts do not clearly demon-
     strate that GAO determination to apply
     decision on sustained complaint only
     prospectively and not to recommend reme-
     dial action was inappropriate, GAO will
     affirm determination upon request for
     reconsideration.

 2.  GAO will not direct award of a contract
     to firm whose complaint was sustained.
     Since complainant is one of three firms
     which previously provided services, non-
     competitive award cannot be justified on
     basis of uniqueness or prior experi-
     ence.

 3.  GAO does not normally review the imple-
     mentation of or alleged failure to
     implement executive branch policy in its
     bid protest function.


     The Civic Action Institute requests reconsidera-
 tion of our decision not to recommend remedial action
 in sustaining its complaint against an award of a
 cooperative agreement by the Department of Housing and
 Urban Development. We affirm our prior determination
 to apply the decision only prospectively.

     In Civic Action Institute, B-206272, Septem-
ber 24, 1982, 61 Comp. Gen.    , 82-2 CPD 270, we
found that the Department of Housing and Urban
Development had improperly entered into a cooperative
agreement with the National Citizens Participation
Council (NCPC) for purposes of providing technical
assistance to Community Development Block Grant
recipients. Even though NCPC's services ultimately
were to be delivered to authorized grant recipients,
