Protester's Late Bid Was Properly Rejected

A company protested the rejection of its bid by the U.S. Penitentiary, Leavenworth, Kansas, because its bid was received after the time for bid opening specified in the IFB. An offerer has the responsibility to assure timely arrival of its bid or offer and must bear the responsibility for its late arrival unless the specific receipt control conditions of the IFB are met. The protest was denied.
