Attorneys
AUTOFLEX, Inc.-- Reconsideration:
AUTOFLEX, Inc. requests that we reconsider our decision AUTOFLEX, Inc., B-240012, Oct. 16, 1990, 90-2 CPD Para. ***. AUTOFLEX essentially expresses disagreement with our decision and repeats arguments it made previously. AUTOFLEX also raises a new argument, the basis of which was available but not argued during our consideration of the initial protest.
Under our Bid Protest Regulations, to obtain reconsideration the requesting party must show that our prior decision contains either errors of fact or law or present information not previously considered that warrants reversal or modification of our decision. 4 C.F.R. Sec. 21.12(a) (1990). AUTOFLEX's repetition of arguments made during our consideration of the original protest and mere disagreement with our decision does not meet this standard. R.E. Scherrer, Inc.-- Recon., B-231101.3, Sept. 21, 1988, 88-2 CPD Para. 274.
Further, our Regulations do not permit a piecemeal presentation of evidence, information, or analyses, and where a party raises in reconsideration an argument that it could have but did not raise at the time of protest, the argument does not provide a basis for reconsideration. Marine Indus., Inc.-- Recon., B-225722.2, June 24, 1987, 87-1 CPD Para. 627.
The request for reconsideration is denied.
