Comptroller General
of the United States
Washington, D.C. 20548





B-158766


January 29, 1997



The Honorable Newt Gingrich
Speaker of the House
   of Representatives

Dear Mr. Speaker:

This letter responds to the requirement of the Competition in Contracting Act of 1984 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 1996.

During the fiscal year we received 2,092 protests and 194 requests for reconsideration for a
total of 2,286 cases. We closed 2,335 cases, including 2,161 protests and 174 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 and the attached enclosure are being furnished to the House
Committee on Government Reform and Oversight. An identical report is being furnished
to the President of the Senate.

Sincerely yours,


Comptroller Gener-al
of the United States


Enclosure
