Stevenson--Reconsideration DIGEST: formation copy of protest sent to agency, even if received timely, does not operate to render timely otherwise untimely protest to GAO. Further, consultation with counsel 16r to filing protest with GAO is I 0hnot valid basis for extending 10-day +6 time limitation where protester is aware of adverse agency action and the reason therefor. Therefore, prior decision refusing to consider ydrrntimely protest is affirmed. Mr. Henry R. Stevensoniyequest reconsideration of our decision in Mr. Henry R. Stevenson, B-198071, March 26, 1980, 80-1 CPD , in which we dismissed as untimely Mr. Stevenson's protest of the Army's cancellation of request for proposals (RFP) No. DAAD 07- 80-R-0005 and refused to consider his claim for proposal preparation costs. Mr. Stevenson now presents two reasons why he believes reconsideration is appropriate. First, he sent the dontracting officer a copy of the protest to our Offict. In his view this constitutes filing a pro- test with the contracting agency. Since Mr. Stevenson has heard nothing from the contracting agency he be- lieves that his protest to our Office is timely. Second, upon receipt of the notice of cancellation Mr. Stevenson consulted his attorney in order to ascertain whether grounds for a valid protest existed. It was not until February 29, 1980, that an Army attorney advised Mr. Stevenson's attorney of the Army's interpretation of the statute in question.
