DIGEST: 1. Notice of award, possibility of which has been protested to contracting agency, constitutes initial adverse agency action, and 10-day requirement for timely protest to GAO is not af- fected by protester's. continuing to pursue matter with contracting agency. 2. After notice of award to competitor, protester's resubmittipg objections to contracting agency and requesting information as to right of appeal does not extend 10-day period for filing timely protest with GAO. International Logistics Group, Ltd. protests the refusal of the U.S. Army Tank-Automotive Command (TACOM), Warren, Michigan, to allow it to bid on spare parts for armored cars being procured for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for use by its national guard. The firm seeks cancellation of a contract for 579 cars, as well as weapons and component spare parts, awarded on a sole source basis to the Cadillac Gage Company. International Logistics alleges numerous vio- ^ L, lations of the Defense Acquisition Regulation (DAR) re- garding foreign military sales. While our Office now reviews protests concerning the propriety of awards under the Department of Defense foreign military sales program, Procurements Involving Foreign Military Sales, 58 Comp. Gen. 81 (1978), 78-2 CPD 349, they are subject to the same timeliness rules as any other protest. For the following reasons, we find that International Logistics, which initially protested to TACOM, did not comply with the timeliness provisions of our Bid Protest Procedures, 4 C.F.R. 20.2 (1980). - -~. --7j 7T6o
