          Gentlemen;

               Thin is In reply to your letters of December 23p 1972p and Yebru-
          ary 51 March 3 and Aptl 22, 13, requesting that we reconsider our
          December 19, 1972, lecision in which we affirmed our Settlement
          Certificate dated May 4p 1972, allowing $1,252,50 of your claim for
          $1,3±c.2o

               Yourj claim for 413,310.20 was-for packaging and shipping aervices
          which you provided as a, subcontraotor to A, C. Tool Corporation# with''
          which the Air Force had contractealfor the ovorbauflng of certain
          equipment. When A. 0   Tool become insolvent and ceased doing business,
C ~you claimed that you had not been pai'l the above amount by A. C. Tool
          and were entitled to be reimbursed directly by the Government,  The
          bulk of your claim was disallowed because there was no privity of con-
          tract between you and the Government, However, becaude the recor
          indicated that you made certain shipments at the request of Government
          representatives after A. C. Tool closed its doors, the amount of
          $1,252.50 was allowed as the reasonable value of the services you per-
          formed that resulted in those shipments.

               In your letter of December 23, 1972, you claimed that your two
          invoices #4399-4400 and #4322, in an amount totaling $2,308.75, also
          represent shipments made after A. 0. Tool closed and that you were
          therefore entitled to payment for those invoices. You were informally
          invited by this Office to submit documentary evidence establishing the
          validity of the claim. You were further advised that either a copy of
          the appropriate Government Bill of Lading (GBL) showing the date each
          shipment was released to the carrier, or a certification from the Ad-
          ministrative Contracting Officer (ACO) indicating his personal
          knowledge that the shipments were made on the dates claimed by you,
          would be sufficient. You stated that you would accept payment of those
          invoices as full settlement of your claim.

               On January 23, 1973, we reiterated our advice to both you and to
          the ACO in a telephone conference call. On Jnuary 29, 1973, the ACO
