          DIGEST

          Protest that agency improperly rejected the protester's proposal as late is denied
          where  the record shows that the proposal was received by email after the closing
          time for receipt of proposals, and the agency properly determined that no exception
          would  permit evaluation of the late proposal.
          DECISION

          (DRMS),  for excess property management and office support services to be
          performed  at Camp Arifjan, Kuwait. ATG argues that the rejection of its proposal
          was  improper.
