Protest Filed After Date Set for Bid Opening Alleging Impropriety in Solicitation

A protester requested reconsideration of a prior decision that the protest was untimely and not for consideration. The protest alleged impropriety in solicitation and was filed after date set for bid opening. The protester's lack of knowledge of Bid Protest Procedures affords no grounds for consideration of untimely protest since publication in the Federal Register constitutes constructive notice of such procedures. The protester failed to show any error of fact or law in the prior decision dismissing the protest. Therefore, the decision was affirmed.
