FILE:  B--187812


FJATE-  Lovember P6, 1976


MATTER OF: Transcontinetal1, Inc.


DIGEST:

      Protest alleging solicitation defect which is filed after
      bid opening date is untimely and not for consideration on
      merits since alleged defect was apparent on face of
      solicitation.


      By wire dated November 12, 1976, filed in our Office on
November 15, 1976, Transcontinental, Inc. protested the eward of
a contract under invitation for bids (IFB) F09650-76-09656,
issued by the United States Air Force for custodial services at
Warner Robins Air Force Base, Georgia. Transcontinental contends
that thL solicitation contained an improper Service Contract Act
wage determination.

      Our Bid Protest Procedures provide in pertinent part;

      Protests based upon alleged impropzieties in
      any type of solicitation which are apparent
      prior to bid opening or the closing date for
      receipt of initial proposals shall be filed
      prior to bid opening or the closing date for
      receipt of initial proposals. 4 C.F.R. 9 2?0.2
      (b)(1) (1976).

      We are advised that bid opening occurred on October 14,
1976.  As Transcontinental's protest concerns a solicitation
defect apparent prior to that date, the protest is untimely
and will not be considered on its merits.
