          B-158766

          December 21, 2000

          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) (Supp. IV 1998), that the Comptroller General report to
          the 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 no such occurrence during fiscal year
          2000.

          During the fiscal year, we received 1,152 protests (including 44 cost claims) and 68
          requests for reconsideration, for a total of 1,220 cases. We closed 1,275 cases:
          1,204 protests (including 41 cost claims) and 71 requests for reconsideration.
          Enclosed for your information are some statistics concerning suspensions of contract
          awards and performance as a result of bid protests.

          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. Gambo a
          Acting General Counsel

          Enclosure
