               Protest concerning applicability of state
               tariff provisions to procurement of telephone
               services is not for consideration by GAO where
               matter is currently'pending before Federal
               Communications Commission and resolution of
               protest issue (propriety .of RFP's evaluation
               provisions) requires detemnination of applica-
               bility of tariff to services by appropriate
               regulatory body.


               Anchorage Telephone Utility (ATU) protests the
evaluation provisions of Request for Proposals (RFP)
          No. CDPA-79-3, -issued by the Automated Data and Tele-
          communications Service, General. Services Administration
          (GSA). The RFP requested offers to lease, as an integral
          part 'f the Federal Telecommunications Service (FTS),
          end to end telephone services consisting of voice'
          grade private line circuits between Federal instal-
          lations in Alaska and Seattle, Washington.

               ATU, the certified local common carrier for the
          Anchorage, Alaska t6lephone area, has on file with the
          Alaska Public Utilities Commission (APUC) a tariff for
          FTS circuit channel arrangements which provides for an
          installation charge of .$21.35 and a monthly rate of
          $373.00 for each FTS circuit channel-arrangement in
          its operating, area. Further, ATU is the current con-
          tractor providing telephone services to GSA's Region
          10 Anchorage Federal Building under a Private Branch
          Exchange (PBX) contract. The circuitry which will be
          obtained under the RFP is to be connected to ATU 's
          PBX system.
