Decision


Matter of: Airrus Management Systems, LLC

File:       B-416358

Date:       August 9, 2018

David A. Rose, Esq., Rose Consulting, LLC, for the protester.
Rachel E. Woods, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency.
April Y. Shields, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,
participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

Protest that agency improperly rejected protester's proposal as late is denied where
none of the protester's attempted submissions were received prior to the closing date
and time for receipt of initial proposals; and dismissed where protester's allegation
about an apparent ambiguity in the solicitation is untimely.
DECISION

Airrus Management Systems, LLC, of Saratoga Springs, Utah, protests the rejection of
its proposal by the Department of the Army, U.S. Army Materiel Command, under
request for proposals (RFP) No. W52P1J-18-R-3011 for roof repair services. Based on
its four attempts to submit its proposal, the protester contends that the agency should
have received and considered its proposal.

We deny the protest in part and dismiss it in part.

throughout this decision. The agency filed a request for dismissal on May 18, to which
Airrus responded on May 23. GAO determined that dismissal was not appropriate and
held a conference call with the parties during which the parties agreed to consider the
                                                                   (continued...)
