96E- R       Comptroller General
             of the United States
             Washington, D.C. 20548





             B-158766


             January 30, 1998


             The Honorable Newt Gingrich
             Speaker of the House
                of Representatives

              Dear Mr. Speaker:

              This letter responds to the requirement of the Competition in Contracting Act
              of 1984 that the Comptroller General report to the Congress each instance in which
              a federal agency did not fully implement a recommendation made by our Office in
              connection with a bid protest decided the prior fiscal year. We are pleased to
              report no such occurrence during fiscal year 1997.

              During the fiscal year we received 1,707 protests (including 22 cost claims) and 145
              requests for reconsideration for a total of 1,852 cases. We closed 1,999 cases:
              1,834 protests (including 38 cost claims) and 165 requests for reconsideration.
              Enclosed for your information are some statistics concerning suspensions of
              contract awards and performance as a result of bid protests.

              A copy of this report, with the enclosure, is being furnished to the House
              Committee on Government Reform and Oversight. An identical report is being
              furnished to the President of the Senate.

              Sincerely yours,


              Comptroller General
              of the United States


Enclosure
