Protest to Determination by Contracting Agency That Revised Proposal Was Late

Protester contended that contract award was made to an offeror at a higher proposed cost and that its protest would have been timely if it had received the cost information. Since protester was advised orally that its revised proposal was not considered because it was received late, it knew the basis for protest before receiving letter with cost information. As issues involved in protest were not considered significant, and conflicting statements of protester and agency constituted the only available evidence, the untimely protest was not considered.
