on
GAO's Position onT~eview of
Contract Appeals Board Decisions]
I appreciate this opportunity to present the views of the General
Accounting Office on the opinion of the Attorney General dated Janu-
ary 16, 1969, in the Southside Plumbing case concerning the authority
of the General Accounting Office to review decisions by contract
appeal boards.
In February of 1965 Progressive Construction Company (formerly the
Southside Plumbing Company) requested the Comptroller General to review
a decision by the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals. This deci-
sion (ASBCA No. 8120, December 20, 1963, and July 14, 1964) denied an
appeal by Southside Plumbing under a contract calling for the rehabilita-
tion and improvements to 500 family housing units at Hunter Air Force
Base, Georgia.
