          The Honorable J. Dennis Hastert
          Speaker of the House
          of Representatives

          Dear Mr. Speaker:

          This letter responds to the requirements of the Competition in Contracting Act
          of 1984, 31 U.S.C. § 3554(e)(2) (2000), that the Comptroller General report to
          Congress each instance in which a federal agency did not fully implement a
          recommendation made by our Office in connection with a bid protest decided the
          prior fiscal year. We are pleased to report that there was no such occurrence during
          fiscal year 2005.

          During the fiscal year, we received 1,285 protests (including 58 cost claims) and 71
          requests for reconsideration, for a total of 1,356 cases. We closed 1,341 cases: 1,285
          protests (including 62 cost claims) and 56 requests for reconsideration. Enclosed for
          your information is a chart comparing the bid protest activity for fiscal years 2001-
          2005.

          A copy of this report, with the enclosure, is being furnished to the Chairman and
          Ranking Minority Member of the House Committee on Government Reform. A
          similar report is being furnished to the President of the Senate.

          Sincerely yours,



          Anthony H. Gamboa
          General Counsel

          Enclosure
