intervenor.
Bryan C. Naquin, Department of the Navy, for the agency.

DIGEST
Protest based on speculation is dismissed because the protester failed to state
sufficient legal and factual grounds for protest as a direct result of not making a
timely request for a post-award debriefing.
DECISION
Coffman Specialties, Inc. (CSI) of San Diego, California, protests the award of a
contract to Baldi Bros., Inc. of Beaumont, California, under request for proposals
(RFP) No. N62473-08-R-2206, issued by the Department of the Navy, for runway
repairs and improvements at Travis Air Force Base in California. As discussed
below, CSI failed to state sufficient legal and factual grounds for this Office to
consider its protest as a direct result of the firm's failure to timely request a
post-award debriefing.
We dismiss the protest.
The record shows that on September 19, 2008, the agency advised CSI that the
contract had been awarded to Baldi in the amount of approximately $44.3 million.
By letter dated September 21, CSI sent a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request
to the agency, requesting the breakdown of the bids and all the alternate items from
all bidders. CSI Letter, Sept. 21, 2008. By e-mail dated September 22, CSI posed the
following question to the agency: Was wondering if we could get all the bid results
