          December 22, 2008

          The Honorable Nancy Pelosi
          Speaker of the House
          of Representatives

          Dear Madam 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 2008.

          During the fiscal year, we received 1,563 protests (including 59 cost claims) and 89
          requests for reconsideration, for a total of 1,652 cases. We closed 1,581 cases: 1,506
          protests (including 52 cost claims), 71 requests for reconsideration and 4 non-
          statutory decisions. Enclosed for your information is a chart comparing the bid
          protest activity for fiscal years 2004-2008.

          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,





          Gary L. Kepplinger

          General Counsel

          Enclosure
