handle is hein.gao/gaobaadyu0001 and id is 1 raw text is: ts A COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON. D.C. 205dm B-182241 FEB 24 1975 The Honorable Glen E. Pommerening Assistant Attorney General for Administration Department of Justice Dear Mr. Pormierening: We refer to your letters dated October 25, 1974, and December 2, 1974, with enclosures, which reported on the protests of the Acme Reporting Company and Capital Court Reporters under invitation for bids No. DJ-A-75-5. Enclosed is a copy of our decision of today. In view of our conclusion that rejection of Acme's low bid without referral to SBA was improper, it is our recommendation that the question of Acme's capacity to provide the reporting services must now be submitted to SBA for a determination as to whether Acme is entitled to a certificate of competency (COC) covering the services on which it bid. We also recommend that the question of Capital's capacity be simultaneously submitted to the SBA so that in the event that the SBA is unable to issue a COC to Acme, Capital's eligibility may be determined. If the SBA issues a COC as to the subjiect services to either Acme or Capital, the remaining portion of Ace-Federal's contract should be terminated for the convenience of the Govermnent and an award for such terminated portion bemade to the lower bidder receiving the COC. As this decision contains a recommendation for corrective action to be taken, it is being transmitted by letters of today to the congres- sional comm.ittees named in section 232 of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1970, Public Law 91-510. In view thereof, your attention is directed to section 236 of the act which requires that you submit written statements of the action to be taken with resDect to the recommendation. The statements are to be sent to the House and Seniate Committees on Government Operations not later than 60 days after the date of this letter and to the Committees on Appropriations in connection with the first request for appropriations made by your agency more than 60 days after the date of this letter.
