Highlights
Cybernetics now contends that we failed to address its contention that it could have better satisfied the agency's needs at a lower cost than the awardee. That our decision was therefore fundamentally flawed. Cybernetic's arguments and alleged "new evidence" only amplify its previous argument that the solicitation was ambiguous. Which we dismissed as untimely because the protest was not filed prior to the closing date for receipt of proposals. The request for reconsideration is denied.

PROCUREMENT - Bid Protests - GAO procedures - GAO decisions - Reconsideration DIGEST: Protester's mere disagreement with prior decision does not establish basis a for reconsideration.
Cybernetics Leadership Center-- Request for Reconsideration:
Cybernetics Leadership Center requests that we reconsider our previous denial of its request for reconsideration, Cybernetics Leadership Ctr., B-233496.3, May 12, 1989, 89-1 CPD Para. 449, concerning Cybernetic's protest of a management development training contract awarded to Americas, Inc., by the Naval Air and Surface Forces of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, under request for proposals (RFP) No. N00123 87-R-5392, issued by the Naval Regional Contracting Center in San Diego, California.
We deny the request for reconsideration.
We denied Cynbernetic's previous reconsideration request on the basis that we had previously correctly dismissed all of the protester's allegations as either untimely or as not for consideration under our Bid Protest Regulations. Cybernetics now contends that we failed to address its contention that it could have better satisfied the agency's needs at a lower cost than the awardee, and that our decision was therefore fundamentally flawed. However, Cybernetic's arguments and alleged "new evidence" only amplify its previous argument that the solicitation was ambiguous, which we dismissed as untimely because the protest was not filed prior to the closing date for receipt of proposals, 4 C.F.R. Sec. 21.2(a)(1) (1989). The protester's mere continued disagreement with our prior decisions and its reiteration of its previously rejected argument does not establish a basis for reconsideration. Minuteman Aviation, Inc-- Request for Reconsideration, B-231504.2, Oct. 13, 1988, 88-2 CPD Para. 348.
The request for reconsideration is denied.
