Protest Alleging Misleading Information on Quantity in Solicitation

The protester alleged that the estimated quantities contained in an invitation for bids were overstated. The protest was untimely and not for consideration since the impropriety was apparent prior to bid opening, but the protest was not filed until after the bid opening date. The allegation that the agency may have advised bidders as to the delivery schedule necessary to meet the solicitation specifications was not supported by the record.
