                                 Reconsideration
              DIGEST:

              1.  Information submitted by offeror clearly ctated that
                  offeror's Baltir-:e office during relevant period in
                  1976 was at Payette Street location only. Offeror now
                  contends that another Baltimore office was at Slade
                  Avenue location.  Written evidence provided by offeror
                  showed that Slade Avenue location had not been operating
                  during relevant period.  Therefore, prior decision is
                  affirmed aince contracting officer's determination of non-
                  responsibility for inability to meet definitive cri:erion
                  was reasonable.


             2.   Prior decision, based on facts presented in numerous sub-
                  missions by protester, Its counsel, and s.-veral agency
                  reports during thorough development of issue, v.r affirmed.
                  Complete information in existence at time of pcior
                  decaion  but not provided to GAO row submitted by pro-
                  tester  does not demonstrate any error of fact or
                  law in prior decision.

                  Uscision Sciences Corporation (DSC) requests reconsideration
             of portions of our decision, Decision Sciences Corporation,
             3-188454, September 14, 197;, 77-2 CPD 188, which denied DSC's
             protest against the award of contracts for providing management
             and technical assistance services to eligible businesses in the
             Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Baltimore, Maryland, and Washington,
             D.C., areas under request for proposals (RFP) No. SBA-7(i)-MA-
             77-1 issued by the Sm.1l Business Administration (SBA) on Novem-
             ber 15, 1976.  DSC's request for raccnsideration relates to the
             Baltimore and Washington area contracts.

                  As stated in the September 14, 1977, decision, the RFP pro-
             vided that proposals received for each of the geographic areas
             would be evaluated on a point system with respect to the experience
             and capability of each offeror's staff, the previous experience
             and effectiveness of each offeror's firm, and eech cfferor's
             man-day pricing.  In each area award was to be made to the respon-
             sible offeror who submitted the highest evaluated proposal. DSC,
