C. 2O5dsS FILE: B-191712 DATE: November 3, 1978 MATTER OF: Superior Technical Services-- Reconsideration DIGEST: Request for reconsideration received in GAO more than 10 days after basis for reconsideration is known is untimely and not for consideratioi. By letter received in our Office on October 2, 1978, Superior Technical Services (Superior) requests recon- sideration of our decision in Superior Technical Ser- viced, B-X91712, September 11, 1978. Superior, protested the award of a contract by theArmy to its competitor, Laird Enterprises (Laird). The contract encompassed the preparation and production of an estimated 15,000 manuscript pages over a one year period with renewal options. *.'e denied Superior's protest based cn our determination that the contracting officer reasonably concluded that Laird was a responsible firm within the meaning of the solicitation's special responsibility criteria. The crux of Superior's request for reconsideration concerns whether Laird met the special standard of re- sponsbhility of the solicitation requiring: :3) the offeror to provide evidence of hav- ing produced matetral similar to that rec'uired by the FFP at the rate of at least 1,500 pages per month within the past twelve months. (Emphasis supplied.) The protester contends that the contractor is primarily a print shop anO does not specialize in the production of manuscript pages and therefore did not meet this specification.
