OF THE UNITED STATES ZWASHINGTON. 0..C. 20548 FILE: B-200578.2 DATE: April 8, 1981 MATTER OF: Dictaphone Corporation - Recon ideratio LO hGES/~ / 1. Interested party's request for recon- sideration of decision sustaining protest against issuance of delivery order to that firm will not be con- sidered where firm was apprised of protest and afforded opportunity to submit comments but failed to do so. 2. Protest filed in GAO more than 10 working days after basis for protest is known or should have been known is untimely. <Diskriter Inc. requests reconsideration of our decision Dictaphone Corporation, B-200578, February 18, 1981, 60 Comp. Gen. , 81-1 CPD , in which we recommended that the Veterans Administration (VA) can- cel a delivery order which has been issued for a Lanier Business Products, Inc., dictation system, and that a new request for quotations (RFQ) be issued. This recommenda- tion, made in response to a protest by Dictaphone Corpo- ration, was based on our finding that the contracting officer failed to properly evaluate Dictaphone's low quotation in response to the VA's RFQ with respect to the requirement for interconnect devices to allow tele- phone access to central recorders.,. Diskriter was Lanier's distributor for the items coveYrd in the delivery order. The company argues that the VA's evaluation of Dictaphone's quotation in fact was correct regarding the interconnect devices. Diskriter also protests that Dictaphone's response to the RFQ was deficient with respect to items other than the inter- connect devices, and thus Dictaphone should not have received the delivery order for the system in any event. 2/4~# 1/86
