On reconsideration, protester alleges that letter sent to agency before closing date was protest to agency. Even if letter to agency is considered protest, agency's consideration of propo- sals despite concerns expressed in letter was initial adverse agency action and protest filed with GAO over 3 months after that date is untimely. Therefore, prior decision is affirmed. General Leasing Corporation (General Leasing) has requested reconsideration of our decision General Leasing Corporation, B-193527, January 5, 1979, 79-1 CPD 6, which dismissed its protest as untimely. General Leasing had protested the issuance of request for proposals (RFP) No. GSA-CDPR-C-0010 for automated data processing equipment (ADPE) by the General Services Administration (GSA). General Leasing contended that the equipment requested fell within the scope of its current contract and should have been purchased under it. The RFP was issued on June 20, 1978, and a copy was mailed to General Leasing. The closing date for initial proposals was August 15, 1978. We stated that since the protest was essentially against a patent solicitation defect, to be timely it must have been filed either with GSA or our Office prior to the closing date for initial proposals as required by section 20.2(b)(1) of our Bid Protest Procedures. 4 C.F.R. § 20.2(b)(1) (1978).
