Box 2207 Austin, Texas 78768-2207 Attention: Paul D. Angenend, Esq. Gentlemen: We refer to your letter dated June 10, 1986, and received in this Office on June 17, in which you, as the representative of Central Forwarding, Inc. (CFI), request reconsideration of our two previous notices dismiss- ing CFI's protest against the proposed award of the Carswell AFB Pack and Crate/Local Move Contract, by the United States Air Force, under invita- tion for bids (IFB) No. F41613-85-BOO84. In its protest, CFI states that it should be awarded the contract because it is the only bidder eligible for award. Specifically, CFI contends that it is the only bidder in compliance with all of the laws and regulations relating to the transpor- tation of goods within Texas, and it is the only bidder holding the necessary licenses and permits for the job.

We dismiss this request for reconsideration. Our Bid Protest Regulations provide that a request for reconsideration must be received in this Office not later than 10 working days after the basis for reconsideration is or should have been known. 4 C.F.R. § 21.12(b) ,(1986). The basis of this reconsideration request was our dismissal of CFI's protest as untimely by notice dated May 22, 1986, and, which according to your present letter, CFI received on May 27. In order for CFI's request for
