                        THE- COMPTROLLER GENERAL
DECISION                OF   THE   UNITED STATES
                        WA  SH IN G TO N, 0. C. 2054 8




FILE:  B-201202               DATE: January 23, 1981

MATTER  OF:    The Little Susitna Company


DIGEST:

      Protest filed with GAO more than ten days
      after receipt of initial adverse agency
      action is untimely under our Bid Protest
      Procedures and not for consideration on
      merits.

      The Little Susitna Company (Little Susitna) pro-
  tests the award by the Navy of a contract for architec-
  tural and engineering (A-E) services under request for
  proposals (RFP) No. N62472-80-C-9384. The contract is
  for the preparation of A-E plans and specifications for
  repairs to a number of housing units at the Naval Sta-
  tion, Adak, Alaska.

       Little Susitna alleges, in substance, that it is
  qualified to perform the work in question, that it is
  a minority-owned firm, and that the Navy failed to con-
  sider all of the selection criteria which appeared in
  the notice of the procurement published in the April 18,
  1980, edition of the Commerce Business Daily (CBD).
  However, the protest is not for consideration on the
  merits since, as indicated below, it was not timely
  filed with our Office.

       Because the contract in question was for A-E
  services in connection with a construction contract, the
  Navy utilized Brooks Bill procedures, 40 U.S.C. §§ 541-
  544 (1976), as prescribed in Defense Acquisition Regu-
  lation §§ 18.-401, 402 (1976 ed.). Of the 22 firms which
  responded to the CBD announcement, six, including Little
  Susitna, were selected by a preselection board for fur-
  ther review. A selection board interviewed the six firms
  and recommended three firms for approval for contract
  negotiations, which list did not include Little Susitna.
  By letter dated August 22, 1980, the Navy advised Little
  Susitna that it had not been selected for the project
  and that negotiations were being conducted with Seifert
  and Forbes, P.S.
