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




FILE:   B-196593.2            DATE: June 2, 1980

MATTER   OF:  NEXUS Incorporated--Reconsideration


DIGEST:

    (Request for reconsideration of prior decision
    is  dismissed as untimely wan filed more than
    10  working days after protester receives
    decision.

    Nexus  Incorporated (Nexus) requests reconsider-
ation of our decision Nexus Incorporated, B-196593,
April 15, 1980, 80-1 CPD 269. In that decision we
held that the Government could accept an equal
product which, as a result of prior testing,.met the
essential material requirements of the Government.
As its basis for reconsideration, Nexus asserts we
did not understand the technical nature of what is
involved.

     Our Rid Protest Procedures, 4 C.F.R. 20.9(b)
(1980), require that a request for reconsideration
be filed not later than 10 working days after the
basis for reconsideration is known or should have
been known, whichever is earlier. In this connection,
we have been informally advised by Nexus that while
our decision was not time stamped upon its receipt
at the firm's office, it was nevertheless received
by the firm's president on April 29. Since the request
for reconsideration was not filed (received) with our
Office until May 14, 1980 it is untimely and not
for consideration.

     The request is dismissed.
