Where protest letters were sent to contracting officer for forwarding to our Office and were received by us more than 1 month after closing date for receipt of pro- posals, protest against allegedly re- strictive specifications is untimely and will not be considered on merits. Reouest for reconsideration is denied. Security Assistance Forces and Equipment Inter- national Inc. (SAFE) requests reconsideration of our decision B-193695, June 9, 1980, 80-1 CPD ,.in which we dismissed as untimely SAFE's protest insqfar as it was based upon allegedly restrictive specifications. SAFE's reQuest for reconsideration is denied. In the June 9, 1980, decision, we held that.SAFE's protest to us was untimely because it was filed in our Office more than 10 days after the contracting activity's initial adverse action on SAFE's protest filed with the contracting activity. SAFE argues that we erred in treating its protest as having been filed initially with the contracting activity because the letters were actually addressed to the Comptroller General of the United States but-were sent throuch the contracting officer in Germany for forwarding to our Office in the United States. SAFE contends that, since its protest letters were sent to the contracting officer with ample time for the contracting officer to forward the letters to our Office before the proposal due date, the protest was timely filed in our Office.
