   MATTER OF:    Ordnance Materials, Inc.


   DIGEST:

        GAO will not consider disagreement with
        amount of excess reprocurement cost
        assessment in contracting officer's
        decision, since Contract Disputes Act of
        1978 requires that appeal frora adverse
        contracting officer decision be to either
        contracting agency board of contract
        appeals or United States Claims Court.

     Ordnance Materials, Inc., disagrees with the $9,498.18
amount the decision of the contracting officer assessed for
excess costs as a result of the termination for default of
contract No. DAAE07-81-C-0037 and the subsequent
reprocurement.

     The Contract Disputes Act of 1978, 41 U.S.C. §§ 601-613
(Supp. IV, 1980), requires that all claims relating to a
contract be filed with the contracting officer for a deci-
sion and permits subsequent appeal of an adverse contracting
officer decision to either the contracting agency board of
contract appeals or to the United States Court of Claims
(now the United States Claims Court, Pub. L. No. 97-164, 96
Stat. 25). Nationwide Building Maintenance, Inc.,
B-207333.2, December 2, 1982, 82-2 CPD 522. Consequently,
we do not consider arguments concerning the extent of the
liability of a defaulted contractor for the excess cost of
reprocurement. See Introl Corp)oration, B-210321, June 1,
1983, 83-1 CPD 591; Braceland P-rothers, Inc., B-193916,
February 16, 1979, 79-1 CPD 120.
