handle is hein.gao/gaobaddnk0001 and id is 1 raw text is: - VLER C 'THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL DECISION OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548 FILE: B-185743 DATE: May 12, 1976 MATTER OF: Fire Trucks, Inc. DIGEST: 1. Despite allegation that clause included in IFB as required by regulation (ASPR § 7-2002.2(c)(ii)) providesthat only acceptable evidence to establish time of bid receipt at Government installation is time/date stamp of installation, all evidence relevant to time of receipt of hand-carried. bid is considered since regulation applies only for con- sideration of late mailed and telegraphic bids, and not late hand-carried bids. 2. Totality of information of record more reasonably supports conclusion that hand-carried bid did not arrive at desig- nated depositary room by time for bid opening, notwith- standing time/date stamp showing timely receipt. Time/ date stamp was mechanical hand stamp, not automatic timepiece, and manually adjustable to show approximate time in 15-minute intervals. This matter concerns a protest by Fire Trucks, Inc. (FTI), against the rejection of a bid submitted on invitation for bids (IFB) F09603-76-B-0406, issued by Warner Robins Air Logistics Center, Georgia (Robins). The contracting officer rejected the bid as late under the terms of Armed Services Procurement Regula- tion (ASPR) § 7-2002.2, Late Bids, Modification of Bids, or Withdrawal of Bids, which had been incorporated into the IFB. ASPR § 7-2002.2 states in pertinent part: (a) Any bid received at the office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt will not be considered unless it is received before award is made and either: (i) it was sent by registered or certified mail not later than the fifth calendar day prior to the date specified for the receipt of bids (e.g., a bid sub- mitted in response to a solicitation requiring receipt of bids by the 20th of the month must have been mailed by the 15th or earlier); or, PUBLISHED DECISION 55 Comap.
