[Second Request for Reconsideration of Dismissed Protest Under Air Force Solicitation for Electrical Power Portion of Radar System]

A firm requested reconsideration of its dismissed protest against an Air Force contract award for electrical power. GAO had held that the protester: (1) untimely filed its original protest; and (2) was not sufficiently interested to protest. In its request for reconsideration, the protester contended by reiterating its original contentions that: (1) the awardee was not responsible; and (2) GAO should consider its protest as a significant issue. GAO held that the: (1) original protest was untimely and did not constitute a significant issue; and (2) protester was not sufficiently interested to protest the award. Accordingly, the request for reconsideration was denied.
