         Matter  of:  Supreme Edgelight Devices, Inc.

         File:        B-295574

         Date:        March 4, 2005

         Darren Cuoghi for the protester.
         Robert E. Sebold, Esq., Defense Logistics Agency, for the agency.
         Guy  R. Pietrovito, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General
         Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
         DIGEST

         1.  Saturday receipt of an agency-level protest decision by a clerk employed by the
         protester did not constitute actual or constructive knowledge of the initial adverse
         agency action on that date, where Saturday was a non-business day for the protester
         and the envelope containing the decision was not opened until Monday, the first
         business day after receipt.

         2. Agency  had a reasonable basis to cancel a request for quotations for an aircraft
         part, which the solicitation indicated was a critical application item and for which
         the agency did not have technical data, where the agency wished to investigate the

         agency's needs.

         (RFQ)  No. SP0470-04-Q-6455, issued by Defense Supply Center Richmond (DSCR),
         Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), for aircraft light plates.

         We  deny the protest.

         DSCR  is responsible for buying and managing spare parts for United States military
         aircraft. On September 27, 2004, DSCR issued the RFQ for 174 light plates, which
         connect to the oxygen regulator panel on various military aircraft. The light plates
         were identified as Carleton Life Support Systems, Inc. part number 1611735-1,
         National Stock Number (NSN) 1660-00-967-3664. Vendors were informed that the
