Reconsideration of Timeliness of Proposal

The protester requested reconsideration of the decision in which GAO determined that the protester's proposal was late and could not be considered for award. Review confirms that the proposal was not received at the appropriate procuring activity until after the deadline. GAO is not bound to follow the legal arguments advanced by parties, and can make determination based upon independent legal analysis of the situation. The prior decision was affirmed.
