J ~ '~\THE COMPTROLLEFP Or- PA
DECIG 10N . OF THE UNITED STATES
WASHINGTON. 0.C. 20548
FILE: B-185178 DATE: August 30, 1976
MATTER OF: Ultraviolet Purification Systems, Inc.--Request for
Reconsideration
DIGEST:
Request for reconsideration of decision is untimely
and not for consideration since filed later than 10
working days after basis for reconsideration was
known.
Ultraviolet Purification Systems, Inc. (Ultraviolet), believes
that very little attention was given to the fact that the equipment
accepted by the Department of the Interior varied considerably from
the actual description and intention of the specifications in our
decision Ultraviolet Purification Systems, Inc., B-185178, July 15,
1976, 55 Comp. Gen. , 76-2 CPD 46, and, consequently, requests that
we reconsider our findings in that decision.
Our Bid Protest Procedures, specifically 4 C.F.R. § 20.9(b) (1976),
state that:
(b) Request for reconsideration of a decision of
the Comptroller General shall be filed not later than
10 [working] days after the basis for reconsideration
is known or should have been known, whichever is earlier.
The term 'filed' as used in this section means receipt
in the General Accounting Office.
Since the basis for the request for reconsideration was known by
Ultraviolet upon its receipt of our July 15 decision and since the
August 16 Ultraviolet letter in which reconsideration was requested
was received by our Office on August 20, the request is clearly
untimely filed and, therefore, not for consideration.
Acting Comptroller General
of the United States
