         The Honorable J. Dennis Hastert
         Speaker of the House
         of Representatives

         Dear Mr. Speaker:

         This letter responds to the requirements of the Competition in Contracting Act
         of 1984, 31 U.S.C. § 3554(e)(2) (2000), that the Comptroller General report to
         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 that there was no such occurrence during
         fiscal year 2006.

         During the fiscal year, we received 1,270 protests (including 58 cost claims) and 57
         requests for reconsideration, for a total of 1,327 cases. We closed 1,274 cases: 1,224
         protests (including 52 cost claims) and 50 requests for reconsideration. Enclosed for
         your information is a chart comparing the bid protest activity for fiscal years 2002-
         2006.

         A copy of this report, with the enclosure, is being furnished to the Chairman and
         Ranking Minority Member of the House Committee on Government Reform. A
         similar report is being furnished to the President of the Senate.

         Sincerely yours,
                 7
