[Protest of Navy Contract Award for Janitorial Services]

A firm protested a Navy contract award for janitorial services, contending that: (1) the Navy improperly awarded the contract to another firm as a small business set-aside after it was in line for the award; and (2) the current solicitation for the same services was improper, since it failed to receive the previous award. GAO held that: (1) the protester untimely filed its protest more than 10 days after it knew the basis for protest; and (2) the protester's failure to receive the previous award was not a valid basis for protest. Accordingly, the protest was dismissed.
