handle is hein.gao/gaobadiui0001 and id is 1 raw text is: THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL DECISIDOil . OF THE UNITED STATES W A S ):WASHINGTON, 0. C 20548 FILE: B-190983 DATE: January 12, 1981 MATTER OF: KET, Inc.- equest for Reconsideration DIGEST: 1. Request for reconsideration of decision holding that contracting officer's decision to consider defective proposal in compet- itive range was not unreasonable is denied where requester has merely repeated arguments made in original protest. 2. Prior decision not to recommend corrective action where contracting agency relaxed mandatory requirement for successful offeror without providing protester opportunity to submit offer on relaxed basis is affirmed, since there was about $8 million difference between two offers and it is not apparent that protester was competitively prejudiced by procurement deficiency. 3. Prior decision holding that agency had tried to comply with Federal policy of attempting to secure maximum practical competition in negotiated procurements is affirmed where requester has presented no information which was not previously considered. 4. Prior decision that protest alleging that contracting agency exceeded terms of Delegation of Procurement Authority was untimely is affirmed. Issue is untimely, since it was known to protester upon receipt of agency report, but was not filed until more than 10 working days later. Grounds for protest raised after initial timely protest must independently satisfy time- liness requirements.
