                           THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL           J
  DECISION              .  OF  THE   UNITED STATES
                            WASHINGTON, D. C. 20548



  FILE: B-192078                DATE:   January 18, 1979

  MATTER  OF:      Lewis Management and Serviced&/66#m
                   Company--Reconsideration

  DIGEST:   'Siell                           S j l' {z


     Where protester notifies GAO that it is seeking
     reconsideration but factual or legal basis for
     seeking reconsideration has not been filed
     within 10 working days after receipt of GAO
     decision, request for reconsideration is
     untimely and not for consideration.

     By TWX dated November 2, 1978, the protester acknowl-
edged receipt of our decision in the matter of Lewis
Management and Service Company, B-192078, October 18,
1978, 78-2 CPD 286. The protester requested recon-
sideration of our decision and stated that a detailed
analysis regarding the request would follow.

     The protester, however, has not submitted a detailed
analysis.  Since the factual or legal basis for seeking
reconsideration was not filed within 10 working days
after receipt of our decision, the request for recon-
sideration is untimely and not for consideration.
4 C.F.R. § 20.9 (1978).  In Department of Commerce;
International Computaprint Corporation, 57 Comp. Gen.
615 (1978), 78-2 CPD 84, we stated as follows:

             When a protester, an interested party, or
        a contracting agency timely files a short note
        indicating general disagreement with an earlier
        decision and subsequently provides the required
        detailed statement after the expiration of the
        reconsideration period, an attempt to extend
        the time for filing the reconsideration request
        is evident.  We cannot condone such action
        because to do so would open the door to poten-
        tial protracted delays possibly resulting in
        circumstances negating recommended remedial
        action in the earlier decision.
