Z0548 '3UL 2 1 181 R-202S25.2 The Honorable Robert McClory -House of Representatives Dear Mr. 4cC ory: In your June 10, 1981, letter to our Office you request our review of a letter dated :June 5 from St. Charles Manufacturing Co. concerning our decision in St. -Charles manufacturing Co., B-202525., April 220 1981, 1T-CM l 32. In that -ecision we held that St. Charles* late proposal could not be considered for award of a General Services Administration contract since the late proposal clause of the solicitation did not permit consideration of late proposals delivered by commercial carrier. St. Charles states in its letter to you requesting a review of our decision that it is unfair because circumstances beyond the c*ntrol of St. Charles caused the late delivery and because our decision denies the Government the opportunity to obtain quality products and services at competitive prices. You state that the St. Charles'. proposal was not timely delivered because the deadline for the submission of proposals was on a Federal holiday (February 16), and the commercial carrier could not, consequently, make delivery to the contracting agency. However, the deadline was at 10:30 a..,, on February 17. And the St. Charles proposal was delivered to the contracting agency on February 17--after the 10:30 a.m. deadline. These factors were considered in reaching our decision of April 22, 1981, and rejected because the terms of the solicitation and applicable regulations under which all offerors .:ompeted did not allow con- sideration of late propoeals under the circumstances // V I [rVec Pe 3 r/' 77e '_4~ /1>'
