B-201390 1 (1980-12-30)

handle is hein.gao/gaobabjxy0001 and id is 1 raw text is: 4b w, : /-7-71 GAO United States General Accounting Office Office of Washington, DC 20548 General Counsel In Reply Refer to: B-201390 G'R, A Partnership 1804 Dante Street New Orleans, LA 70118 Attention: Marco J. Giardino, Principal Partner Gentlemen: We refer to your November 25, 1980 letter protesting the award of contract J7530-0-0024 by the National Park Ser- vice, Department of the Interior, to the Center for Gulf South History for an ethnohistoric overview of Mississippi Delta culture. The enclosures to your letter show that you were advised of the selection of the Center for Gulf South History on August 1, 1980, and of the specific reasons therefor by letter from the contracting officer dated August 13. On August 15, you sent to the contracting officer a notice of appeal and complaint to the General Services Administration Board of Contract Appeals protesting the award; we assume that you expected that the notice of appeal would be forwarded to the referenced body. However, your letter was treated by the contracting officer as a protest to the procuring activity, and the protest was denied by letter of September 22. We received your November 25 letter on December 1. Section 20.2(a) of our Bid Protest Procedures, 4 C.F.R. part 20 (1980), requires that a protest against a contract award be filed in either the contracting agency or the General Accounting Office within 10 working days after the basis for protest is known or should have been known, whichever is earlier. (The contracting agency may impose a more stringent time for filing a protest with it, which will control when that alternative is selected by a disappointed bidder or offeror.) The section also requires that when a protest has been timely filed with a contracting agency, any subsequent protest to our Office be filed within 10 working days of knowledge of the agency's initial adverse action on the matter. 3 Ki 2
