FILE:  B-183089                     DATE:    February 12, 1975

MATTER OF: C.C.C. Corporation


DIGEST:
    Protest by offeror against alleged impropriety in
    negotiated solicitation, i.e., amendment extending
    closing date for receipt of offers without extending
    preperformance mobilization period which was preju-
    ducial restrictive condition, will not be considered
    since unanswered protest to contracting agency was
    untimely filed after extended closing date for
    receipt of offers.

Procurement Branch, DAO-Army Division, Saigon, Vietnam, on

January 13, 1975, received on January 23, 1975, C.C.C. protested

C.C.C.'s protest is based on the fact that, while the closing
