MATTER  OF:


Technical Industries, Inc.--
Reconsideration


DIGEST:


     Request for reconsideration which neither
     meets timeliness standards nor provides
     detailed statement of factual and legal
     basis upon which reconsideration is war-
     ranted as required by GAO Bid Protest
     Procedures, 4 C.F.R. § 20.9 is dismissed.

     Technical Industries, Inc. (Technical) requests
reconsideration of our decision, Fisher Berkeley
Corporation; International Medical Industries,
B-196432, B-196432.2, January 9, 1980, 80-1 CPD 26,
where our Office recommended that the Veterans
Administration terminate the contract with Technical,
the third lowest bidder if either of the lower bid-
ders were acceptable and award the contract to the
lowest responsive, responsible bidder. In Fisher, our
Office found that the Veterans Administration had
applied the solicitation's specifications too strictly
and, therefore, had unfairly excluded the two lowest
bidders from consideration.  Technical also believes
that its contract does not contain a termination for..
convenience of the Government clause. The request for
reconsideration was filed on June 25, 1980.

    Section 20.9(b) of our Bid Protest Procedures
provides that reconsideration requests must be filed
not later than 10 working days after the basis for
reconsideration is known or should have been known,
whichever is earlier. 4 C.F.R. § 20.9(b) (1980).
Technical's request acknowledged that it was aware
of our decision and had received formal notification
of the contract cancellation on April 24, 1980 at.
the latest. Since Technical's reconsideration request
was filed more than 10 working days after the basis
