              MATTER OF:     Mil-Tec Systems Corp.; ACR
                             Electronics, Inc. -Reconsideration 3) nv

              DIGEST:

                  Awardee's filing of request for reconsider-
                  ation with SBA Size Appeals Board provides
                  no basis to withdraw recommendation that
                  improperly awarded contract be terminated
                  since for purposes of determining propriety
                  of award, reliance on Size Appeals Board's
                  initial determination is appropriate.


                  Quadratec Electronics, Inc., requests reconsidera-
             tion of our decision Mil-Tec Systems Corp.; ACR Elec-
             tronics, Inc., B-200260; B-200260.2, February 9, 1981, 81-1
             CPD    . In that decision, we recommended termination of
             a contract awarded to Quadratec since the Air Force did
             not provide the pre-award notice to other offerors required
             by Defense Acquisition Regulation (DAR) § 1-703(b)(1) (1976
             ed.), and the Small Business Administration (SBA) subse-
             quently found Quadratec not to be small pursuant to a timely
             size status protest filed by ACR Electronics, Inc.

                  Quadratec argues that it is and always has been a
             small business and states that it has filed a request for
             reconsideration with the SBA Size Appeals Board. Therefore,
             Quadratec contends our February 9, 1981 recommendation for
             contract termination should be withdrawn.

                  We do not view Quadratec's filing of a request for
             reconsideration with the SBA Size Appeals Board as providing
             any basis on which to withdraw our recommendation. While
             it is possible that the Size Appeals Board might reverse
             its prior position on reconsideration, we believe that for
             the purposes of determining the propriety of a contract
             award, reliance upon the initial Size Appeals Board deter-
             mination is appropriate.
