 FILE: B-213680                 DATE: November 25, 1983

 MATTER OF: Bon Aire Construction Company


 DIGEST:

     GAO will not consider matters relating to pay-
     ment of a claim concerning a contract dispute
     matter which has been decided by the Armed Ser-
     vices Board of Contract Appeals.

     Bon Aire Construction Company (Bon Aire) requests that
our Office investigate the Department of the Air Force's
failure to pay a breach of contract claim decided in favor
of Bon Aire by the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals
(BCA). Bon Aire argues that the Air Force improperly has
delayed payment of Bon Aire's claim. Bon Aire's submissions
indicate that the BCA's decision in favor of Bon Aire
required the Air Force contracting officer to determine the
amount of damages. Apparently to date, the contracting
officer has not determined the amount of damages owed Bon
Aire. However, we note that the BCA has advised Bon Aire
that if Bon Aire ultimately disagrees with the Air Force's
determination, it may file an appeal of the determination
with the BCA.

     We decline to consider the matter.

     Our Office does not review actions relating to contract
disputes decisions, such as this one, which have been ren-
dered by the BCA under the contract Disputes clause and
processed in accordance with the Contract Disputes Act of
1978, 41 U.S.C. §§ 601-613 (Supp. IV, 1980). See Oxwell,
Inc., B-211571, May 16, 1983, 83-1 CPD 517. The propriety
of enforcement of the BCA decision is for consideration by
the BCA, not our Office. See Oxwell, Inc., sufpra; Nation-
wide Buildinq Maintenance, Inc., B-207333.2, December 2,
1982, 82-2 CPD 522.
