MEMCOM requests reconsideration of our decision a-191526, April 6, 1978, wherain we held that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) properl rejected as late MEMCOM's bid which was sent by registered mail less than 5 calendar days prior to bid opening and was received after bidi opening. As grounds for reconsideration, MEMCOM asserts that the invitation for bids (IFB) %.as issued on March 17, 1978, only 4 days prior to the March 21, 1978, bid opening date, making it impossible for MEMCC4 to submit its bid 5 days prior to bid opening. We have been informed by the FAA tha: the IFB was synopsized on January 10, 1978, and issued and mailed to bidders, including MEMCOM, on February 17, 1978. Accordingly, we do not understand the basis for MEMCOM's assertion and find no basis for further reconsidering the matter. The prior decision is affirmed.
