  MATTER OF: Joe W. Vallie


  DIGEST:

     Complaint alleging that a firm which was
     awarded a contract under a total Buy-Indian
     set-aside has a neqative view in hirinq
     Indians and has failed to hire qualified
     Indians who applied for positions with this
     firm relates to contract administration and
     therefore is not for resolution under GAO's
     Bid Protest Procedures.


     Joe W. Vallie complains about the hiring practices of
Colombe, Inc. a firm which was awarded Department of the
Interior contract No. A0014201249 on March 1, 1983 to pro-
duce new and update old title status reports under request
for proposals AOO-0251, a total Buy-Indian set-aside.

     Mr. Vallie alleges that Colombe has a negative view
in hiring Indians and has failed to hire qualified
Indians who applied for positions with this firm in per-
formance of contract No. A0014201249.

     While the aqency report to our Office indicates that
Mr. Vallie's allegations are unsupported, we conclude that
these allegations raise questions of contract administra-
tion. Such questions are not for resolution under our Bid
Protest Procedures, 4 C.F.R. part 21 (1983). Business
Equipment & Systems, Inc., B-212708, September 6, 1983,
83-2 CPD 307.

     Therefore, we dismiss the complaint.
