t1            MATTER OF: Vanir Research Company -   Reconsideration


              DIGEBT:

              1.    Request for reconsideration filed more than 10 working
                    days after basis for reconsideration is known is untimely
                    file.

              2.    Allegation that %gency procuremant action resulted in
                    substantial monetary loss to Government does not raise
                    significant issue within meaning of GAO Bid Protest
                    Procedures.


                    Vanir Research Corpany (Vanir) requests reconsideration
              of our decision in Vanir ReseArch Company, B-189977, September 2,
              1977, dismissing as untimely its protest against the award of a
              contract under request for proposals No. GS-09B-76041, issued by
              the General Services Administration (GSA).

                    In its request for reconsideration, Vanir asserts that its
              initial protest should nave been considered under 4 C.F.R. § 20.2
              (3)(c) (1977), noLwithstanding its untimeliness, because it
              raises an issue significant to procurement practices and pro-
              cedures, that issue being that the procurement practice used by
              GSA in awarding the contracL resulted in a substantial Lmonetary7
              loss to the Government.

                   Our Bid Protest Procedures, spectfically 4 C.F.R. I 20.9(b),
              state that:

                    Request for reconsideration of a decision
                    * * * shall be filed not later than 10 days
                    after the basis for reconsideration is known
                    or should have been known, whichever is
                    earlier. The term 'filed' as uted in this
                    section means receipt in the General Account-
                    ing Office.
