A protest of a solicitation cancellation was forwarded to GAO. The agency had found the solicitation to be ambiguous and planned to resolicit. The incumbent contractor, the only bidder, contended that the solicitation was not ambiguous and that it should have been awarded the contract. The protest was not received by GAO until more than 10 working days after the basis of the protest was known. Therefore, the protest was untimely and not for consideration on its merits. Accordingly, the protest was dismissed.
