Untimely Protest Against Cancellation of Solicitation and Reprocurement
Highlights
The protester contended that the agency acted improperly in rejecting all bids and cancelling the solicitation, the agency failed to request best and final offers with regard to the negotiated resolicitation, and the weight factors used in the negotiated procurement were incorrect. The protest against cancellation of the solicitation was filed nearly 2 months after receipt of notice of rejection of all bids and, as a result, was untimely. The protest against the agency's failure to restrict the negotiated procurement to responsible bidders responding to the solicitation was untimely filed more than 10 days after the basis for protest was known. The protest against improperly stated weight factors was also untimely since it was not filed prior to the date for receipt of proposals.
