[Request for Reconsideration of Dismissal of Protest Under DOT Solicitation]

A firm requested reconsideration of the dismissal of its untimely protest against a Department of Transportation (DOT) solicitation, contending that it timely filed the protest while its protest to DOT was still pending. GAO held that: (1) protesters are obligated to furnish, in their initial submission to GAO, all relevant information bearing on a protest; and (2) since the protester did not advise it of the agency protest, the instant protest was untimely. Accordingly, the dismissal was affirmed.
