Protest against Finding That Proposal Was Unacceptable

A company protested the finding that its initial proposal was unacceptable and contended that its protest was not untimely because the letter from the contracting officer did not contain sufficient information. The protest was timely because sufficient information was not available for a protest, and the protester was entitled to wait for a debriefing. The determination that the proposal was unacceptable was not arbitrary, as alleged, and the proposal could not be made acceptable without major revisions.
