Request for Reconsideration Concerning VA Contract Award

A firm requested reconsideration of a prior decision which dismissed its untimely protest against any award under an invitation for bids issued by the Veterans Administration. Reconsideration requests must be filed not later than 10 working days after the basis for the reconsideration is or should have been known. The request was not filed until 13 working days after the basis for the reconsideration was known. Accordingly, the reconsideration request was dismissed as untimely.
