C. 2054 8 FILE: B-202366.2 DATE: April 29, 1981 MATTER OF: Kathryn A. ogerson-Reconsideratioz7 DIGEST: 1. Protester's unfamiliarity with timeliness requirements set forth in GAO's Bid Protest Procedures does not constitute good cause required before GAO will review untimely protest, and prior decision is accordingly affirmed. 2. Where discussions with contracting officer were not intended as protest to agency, time limits for filing protest with GAO were not tolled. Kathryn A. Rogerson requests that we reconsider our decision in Kathryn A. Rogerson, B-202366, March 26, 1981, 81-1 CPD . In that decision, we dismissed as untimely contentions that the Department of Agriculture unjustifiably canceled an invitation for bids (IFB) for campground maintenance services and also improperly included a bid abstract from the canceled IFB in the resolicitation bid package. We also denied a portion of the protest alleging that bidders who had submitted late or nonresponsive bids under the canceled IFB should not have been permitted to compete on the resolicitation. In her reconsideration request, the protester directs our attention to the subsection of our Bid Protest Proce- dures which provides for consideration of untimely protests where good cause is shown. 4 C.F.R. § 20.2(c) (1980). Seeking to invoke this exception, the protester explains that she discussed the matter with the contracting officer on a number of occasions after she learned of the cancel- lation, and that she would have immediately protested to our Office had she been aware of our timeliness require- ments. _
