MATTER OF: Empire Electric Company, Inc.


DIGEST:


     A contractor's complaint concerning the
     allegedly improper administration of its
     contract is not a matter for review under
     GAO's Bid Protest Procedures, but instead
     should be pursued under the contract's
     disputes procedures.

     Empire Electric Company, Inc. requests an investi-
gation of the administration of its contract No. N00189-
83-D-0459 with the Naval Supply Center, Norfolk, Virginia.
Empire contends that the agency has failed to administer
the contract properly.

     This Office will not review a contractor's protest
that its contract is not being administered properly.
Under our Bid Protest Procedures, 4 C.F.R. Part 21 (1983),
we consider whether an award, or proposed award, of a
contract complies with statutory, regulatory, and other
legal requirements; we do not consider how contracting
officers administer contracts that have been awarded.
See Delta Elevator Service Corporation, B-208252,
March 23, 1983, 83-1 CPD 299. The contractor's remedy
is to pursue the matter under the contract's disputes
procedures as provided by law. See 41 U.S.C. §9 601-613
(Supp. IV 1980).

     We dismiss the protest.




                            Harry R. Van Cleve
