THE .COMPTROLLER GEI\ERAL DEC!S \ . - OF THE UNITED STATES VVASHINGTON, D.C. 20548 FILE: B-186381 DATE: August 18, 1976 MATTER OF: Peace Surplus DIGEST: Protest that bidder on Government surplus personal property has improperly benefited from use of Government-owned real property, without paying rent, and therefore should not be permitted to participate in surplus sales pending administra- tive settlement of Government's claim for use of realty is denied.
