Jones, Esq., Department of Homeland Security, for the agency. Paula A. Williams, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency reasonably rejected protester's hand-carried proposal as late where a preponderance of the evidence does not establish that the protester delivered the proposal to the designated location prior to the time set for closing and where the protester significantly contributed to the late delivery by failing to allow sufficient time for delivery.

We deny the protest. As amended, the solicitation informed potential offerors that hand delivery of initial proposals was permitted and indicated that they were to be submitted to the Jemal Building, 1900 Half Street SW, Washington, DC, 3 p.m. eastern standard time (EST), March 2, 2011. RFP amend. 7, at 1-2. The solicitation further instructed that offerors should use the loading dock on the T Street Southwest (SW) side of the Jemal Building.
