              o    ~     THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL
DECISION                 OF  THE   UNITED STATES
                         WASHINGTON, D.C. 2054a




FILE:  B-194476               DATE:  January 24, 1980

MATTER   OF:    SSR Incorporated-  d-2- 3


DIGEST:


1.   Claim for proposal preparation costs
    fCiled more-than two-years after 4
    claimant's  protest to agency was
    denied  is dismissed because claimant
    did  not protest agency's refusal to
    change  its award decision to GAO and
    issues  in claim and protest to agency
    are  essentially the same.

2.   Where agency pays for services rendered
     pursuant to purchase order, claim based
     on allegation that value of services
     exceeded purchase order amount and were
     provided in belief that follow-on contract
     on sole-source basis would be awarded is
     denied since there is no legal authority
     to pay more than purchase order amount
     for services rendered under purchase
     order.  Moreover, since competition was
     available, agency could not properly
     have made sole-source award.


     SSR1  ncorporate  (SSR) has submitted a claim
for costs of $8,327.63 incurred in 1977 in connection
with SSR's efforts to obtain a contract from the
    e atmet f Health, Edcton,   an   elfare   4            #-
to provide editing and other services in support of
the preparation of the Third Special Report to
Congress on Alcohol and Health. SSR's claim appears
to be based on alternative theories that it is
entitled to proposal preparation costs or it should
receive compensation for extra services it was induced
to perform under a purchase order with HEW.
