handle is hein.gao/gaobadjra0001 and id is 1 raw text is: ~THE COMPTROLLER GEN L DECISION O F THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON, 0.C. 20548 FILE: B-204330 DATE: August 20, 1981 MATTER OF: Misener Marine Construction, Inc. DIGEST: Where grantor agency maintains established procedure for resolving complaints con- cerning grantee procurement, GAO will not consider complaint unless matter has first been presented to agency for its considera- tion. Misener Marine Construction, Inc., complains of the acceptance of a competitor's bid by the Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority in connection with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) project C-72-79. This is not a matter we will review at this time. In our Public Notice published at 40 Fed. Reg. 42406 (1975), we stated that we would consider complaints concerning procurements conducted by recipients of Federal grant funds. Our purpose was to insure ad- herence to the requirements of the grant instruments by the grantees and to examine the efforts of grantor agencies in discharging their responsibilities to assure that those requirements were met. However, where a grantor agency, such as EPA, has an estab- lished procedure for identifying and' resolving prob- lems concerning grantee procurements, we will not consider a complaint unless the matter has first been presented for grantor agency consideration. Sanders Company Plumbing and Heating, 59 Comp. Gen. 243 (1980), 80-1 CPD 99. [t 00fe tI z
