        The Honorable William L. Armstrong.
        United States Senator
        311 Steel Street
        Denver, Colorado  80206

        Dear Senator Armstrong:

             This is in reply to your September 21, 1983, request
        that we review the allegations of your constituent, Con-
        solidated Maintenance Company (Consolidated), that the
        Brunswick Naval Air Station, the Naval Facilities Engin-
*eering Command and the Small Business Administration
        (SBA) improperly failed to grant an extension on Con-
        solidated's contract and, instead, incorporated the jani-
        torial services requirement into an existing 8(a)
-contract.

             We are unable to consider this matter on the merits
        because your constituent's protest was untimely*filed,
        and the allegations regarding disclosure under the Free-
        dom of Information Act (FOIA) and a contract disputes
        settlement are not for consideration by our Office.

             Consolidated was awarded a contract for janitorial
        maintenance services in 1978. The contract was
        resolicited in 1982 under invitation for bids (IFB)
        No. N62472-82-B-2317. Consolidated filed a protest with
jour Office on November 9, 1982. Consolidated contended
        that certain provisions in the IFB were improper.

             In a mailgram dated December 6, 1982, Consolidated
        advised our Office that the provisions which it objected
        to had been satisfactorily revised and that bid opening
        had been extended from November 15, 1982, to December 16,
        1982. It therefore was not feasible to begin the new
        contract by December 16, 1982, as originally scheduled.
        Consolidated indicated that the contracting officer at
        Brunswick Naval Air Station was in favor of extending
        Consolidated's 1978 contract until the new contract was
        awarded; however, the Naval Facilities Engineering
