[Request for Reconsideration of Protest of Navy Bid Rejection]
Highlights
A firm requested reconsideration of its dismissed protest of the Navy's rejection of its bid. GAO had held that the protester failed to provide sufficient evidence that the Navy violated procurement laws or regulations. In its request for reconsideration, the protester submitted supporting documentation that it inadvertently omitted in its initial protest. GAO held that it would not consider the protest, since the protester failed to support its allegations in its initial protest. Accordingly, the request for reconsideration was denied.
