handle is hein.gao/gaobadiqn0001 and id is 1 raw text is: THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL DE=CISIDN ~OF THE UNITEO STATES /WASHINGTON, 0. C. 20548 FILE: _195305 OATE:October 27, 1980 MATTER OF: Slack Associates, Inc.--Reconsideration OL 7 D1G EST: Decision is affirmed where request for reconsideration fails to clearly demon- strate either errors of'fact or law in decision, but rather essentially reite-rates bases of protest and argu- ments previously considered. Slack Associates, Inc. (Slack), requests reconsideration of our decision in the matter of Slack Associates, Inc., B-195305, July 28, 1980, 80-2 CPD 69. In that decision we denied Slack's protest against the rejection of its bid submitted under invitation for bids (IFB) No. N004210-79-B-0118, issued by the Supply Department, Naval Air Station, /9 1/ Patuxent River, Maryland, and the award on a sole- source basis made to Calcor Space Facility, Inc. (Calcor). The IFB solicited bids for closed-circuit television camera supports. The Supply Department rejected Slack's bid as nonresponsive for failing to provide any data under the IFB descriptive literature clause. Calcor received the award, but the contract was terminated for the Government's convenience when it was determined Calcor's bid was not acceptable and the subsequent sole-source award was made to Calcor. In our decision, we denied in part and dismissed in part Slack's protest. Specifically, we rejected Slack's argument that, although admittedly untimely under our Bid Protest Procedures because it was sub- mitted after bid opening, we should consider Slack's protest that the descriptive literature requirement was improper. Slack argued that the descriptive lit- erature requirement was contrary to prior decisions of this Office. We stated, however, that a previously decided issue, such as the one 'raised, did not fall within our significant issue exception to our time- liness requirements and that the issue was therefore untimely presented and not for our consideration.
