Untimely protest that purchase should have been made by competitive procure- ment rather than through sole-source award does not raise significant issue to invoke exception to GAO timeliness rules. 2. Where it is clear from protester's initial submission that firm has not complied with GAO filing requirements, protest will be dismissed without GAO's first obtaining report on merits from contracting agency. International Logistics Group, Ltd. requests that we reconsider our decision International Logistics Group, Ltd., B-202819, May 19, 1981, 81-1 CPD 386, in which we dismissed the firm's protest against the refusal by the U.S. Army Tank-Automotive Command to allow International Logistics to bid on spare parts for armored cars being procured for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The protester had sought 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. The reason for dismissal was that the protest was not timely filed according to the requirements in our Bid Protest Procedures, 4 C.F.R. part 20 (1980). International Logistics now contends that we should consider the matter under the exception to our timeliness rules in section 20.2(c) of our Procedures for issues significant to pro- curement practices or procedures because the Cadillac Gage Company allegedly improperly pressured the foreign buyer into insisting on the sole-source award. In this respect, Defense Acquisition Regulation § 6-1307 permits a foreign military sales customer to request that a defense article be obtained from a particular source. Y. & :' '- % . . .
