        B-158766

        January 18, 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. III 1997), 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
        1999.

        During the fiscal year we received 1,290 protests (including 29 cost claims) and 109
        requests for reconsideration for a total of 1,399 cases. We closed 1,446 cases:
        1,316 protests (including 29 cost claims) and 130 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,



        Comptroller General
        of the United States


Enclosure
