[Second Request for Reconsideration of Dismissed Protest of FAA Rejection of Bid as Late]

A firm requested further reconsideration of the dismissal of its protest against the Federal Aviation Administration's rejection of its late bid. GAO had held that: (1) the protester untimely filed its initial protest; and (2) it would not reconsider its decision, since the protester failed to inform it of an agency-level protest that would have rendered the original protest timely. In its request for reconsideration, the protester contended that it had evidence of the agency-level protest. GAO held that the protester failed to supply evidence of its agency-level protest until almost 2 months after it initially protested to GAO. Accordingly, the request for reconsideration was denied.
