DIGEST: Claims by a contractor against the government relating to a contract are properly for processing under the Contract Disputes Act of 1978, rather than for resolution by GAO. Pathfinders Institute and five other contractorsl with the Veterans Administration Medical Center, Albany, New York (Center), request payment for readjustment counseling services provided to certain veterans under the Vietnam Era Veterans Contract Readjustment Counseling Program. The claimants assert that they were orally directed by the Center's Team Leader to actively seek out and provide coun- seling services to Vietnam veterans with social and psycho- logical readjustment problems, despite a contractual provision to the contrary which specified that veterans could be provided services only after having been referred to contracted mental health providers by the Center. With- out passing upon the merits of the claims, we dismiss them as not for our consideration. In June of 1982, the Center awarded contracts to nine mental health care providers in the Albany area to provide counseling services to Vietnam veterans with social and psychological readjustment problems. The contracts were awarded in accordance with the Veterans' Health Care Amendments of 1979, 38 U.S.C. S 612A (Supp. IV 1980), which provide that upon a request for counseling by an eligible iCatholic Charities of the Diocese of Albany, Inc.; Delaware County Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Alcoholism Clinic; Ulster County Community Mental Health Services; Dr. T. H. Collins and Associates; and Al-Care. The total amount of the claims is $26,022. 00F775
