DECISION                 OF THE UNITEO STATES
                         WASHINGTON. 0. C. 2054e



FILE: B-209429.2              DATE: June 9, 1983

MATTER OF:     Canyon Logging Company--Reconsideration


DIGEST:

      Where request for reconsideration fails to
      demonstrate any error of fact or law, prior
      decision is affirmed.

      Canyon Logging Company requests reconsideration
  of our decision in Canyon Logging Company, B-209429,
  April 1, 1983, 83-1 CPD 343, denying its protest
  against the Forest Service's acceptance of a bid from
  Cofer & Beck Logging Company. The challenged bid was
  for the Ninko-Miller Lake Timber Sale on the Glacier
  View Ranger District of Flathead National Forest.

      We affirm our prior decision.

      The Ninko-Miller sale was advertised on August 8,
  1982. The advertisement clearly stated that bids
  would be received at the Forest Supervisor's office in
  Kalispell, Montana. The advertisement also noted that
  information concerning bid submission could be
  obtained at the Ranger's Office in Columbia Falls,
  Montana. The bid opening was scheduled for Monday,
  September 13, at 11:00 a.m.

      On Friday, September 10, a bid from Cofer & Beck
 was hand-carried to the Ranger's Office in Columbia
 Falls. Rather than referring the bidder to the
 Kalispell office 30 miles away, a clerk in the
 Ranger's Office accepted the bid, time-stamped it,
 initialed it, and placed the clearly marked bid enve-
 lope inside a Forest Service internal mail envelope
 and an internal routing envelope which was addressed
 to the bid custodian in Kalispell. When the Cofer &
 Beck bid was discovered about 1 hour and 30 minutes
 after bid opening, it was opened and acknowledged as
 the high bid.
