          Matterof:   NSA Employees - Relocation Service Contracts -
                      Property Rental Management Service
          File:       B-219547

          Date:      July 17, 1987
          DIGEST

          The National Security Agency (NSA) questions whether a
          property rental management service may be included in the
          agency's relocation service contracts for its employees who
          are transferred within the continental United States.
          Although the statutory authority for relocation service
          contracts contained in 5 U.S.C. S 5724c (Sup. oIII,-985)
          does not necessarily prei-c-ude this type of service, it has
          not been provided for by regulations implementing the
          statutue. In the absence of such implementing regulations,
          there is no authority for NSA to include property rental
          management service in its relocation service contracts.

          DECISION

          This decision is in response to a request by the peguty
          Director for Administratiors NatiQnal Secur-ity Agency (-NSA),
          for an opinion as to the permissibility of including
          property rental management service in relocation service
          contracts. We conclude that property rental management
          services may not be authorized in the absence of
          implementing regulations which specifically authorize this
          service.
