                  DIGEST:

                       Prior decision is affirmed because the
                       protester has not shown any errors of
                       law or fact in the decision's dismispial
                       of its protest agAinst the contracting
   I                    officer's affirmative determination of
                        the low bidder's responsibility.
                        Enviro6nmental Laburatory of Fayetteville, Inc,
                   (Environmental), requests reconsideration of our decision
                   in the matter of EnVironmett4l Laboratory bf Fayetteville,'
                   Inc.--Reconsideration, B-205593*2, January 13, 1982, 82-T
                   CPD -, which affirmed our decision in the matter of
                   *  Tnvironmental Laboratory of Fayetteville, Inc., B-205593,
                   becember 7, 1981, 81-2 CPD 445.

                        The December 7, 1981, decision dismisied Environ-
                  mental's protest against the procuring agejicy's affirua-
                  tive determination of the low bidder's responsibility.
                  The January 13, 1982, decision affirmed the December 7
    1              decision, finding that (1)_the contracting .officer-did
                  not.change the time of performance requirimnts stated
                  in the IFB, (2) decisions cited by Environmental dealing
    ' I           width negative responsibility determinationswere inappli-
                  cable to the instant affirmative determinaEion of respon-
                  sibility situation, (3) the awardee, Law and Company,
                  Inc. (Law), could acquire new facilities after award,

                  tract constituted an affirmative determination of
                  responiibility.   Environmental disagrees with all
                  findings.   After considering Environmental's reasons for
                  disagreement, we affirm the January 13, 1982, decision,
                       Regarding the first filnding, Environmental bontends
:                 that although the contract has not been expressly-modified.,
