[Protest of Coast Guard Contract Award for Propeller Overhaul Services]

A firm protested a Coast Guard contract award for aircraft propeller overhaul services, contending that, since the contracting officer provided it with erroneous information concerning the deadline for filing its protest, GAO should waive the timeliness requirements. GAO held that the protester's lack of knowledge concerning protest filing requirements was not a basis for waiving the requirements. Accordingly, the protest was dismissed.
