C. 20548 FILE: B-207612 DATE: November 5, 1989 MAATTER OF; Fischbach, McCoach & Associates, Inc. DIGEST: Complaint regarding the award of cooperative agreements will not be considered where complainant has not shown that agency awarded agreements to circumvent the procurement laws or regulations or that conflict of interest was involved. Fischbach, McCoach & Associates, Inc. (Fischbach), complains of the Small Business Administration's (SBA) award of cooperative agreements for management and technical assistance under project No. MSB-82-001-00 to First Harlem Management Corporation (FHMC) for four geographic areas in New York and to Raven Management Associates, Inc. (Raven), for one geographic area in New York. Fischbach complains about the award of a single cooperative agreement to FHMC for four geographic areas because Fischbach contends that structuring the solicitation into those four task areas indicated an intention to make four awards. Fischbach also asserts that thE agency evaluation process did not adequately consider either Fischbach's lower cost or the hich caliber of Fischbach's prior work. Further, Fischbach questions whethe'r FHMC pcssesses the necessary expertise required to fulfill the cooperative agreement requirements. With respect to the award to Raven, Fischbach states that it submitted a much lower cost proposal than Raven. We dismiss the complaints. We will consider complaints from prospective contractors concerning the award of contracts by grantees under Federal grants in order to foster compliance with grant terms and with statutory and regulatory rquiremenrs. GAD Public Notice, 40 Fed. Reg. 42406 (1975). However, as the Public Notice indicates, it is not our intention to interfere with the function and cesponsibility of grantor agencies in 0^ 8.4- 13
