C. 20 5 4 e VNITO~ FILE: B-202901.2 DATE: August 17,.1981 MATTER OF: Domar Buckle Mfg. Corp.--Reconsideration DIGEST: Delay in'mail does not constitute good cause basis under Bid Protest Procedures to consider untimely protest on merits. Once protest arrives late, any delay that may have occurred after the receipt is immaterial. Untimely protest against correction of mistake in bid based on bidder's worksheets does not present significant issue for consideration under Bid Protest Procedures; such issue has been treated on merits previously. Domar Buckle Mfg. Corp. (Domar) requests reconsideration of our decision in Domar Buckle Mfg. Corp., B-202901, May 21, 1981, 81-1 CPD 401. In that decision, we held the Domar protest to be untimely and not for consideration on the merits, since it was filed with our Office on April 14, 11 working days after Domar received notification that its identical protest to the contracting officer had been denied (initial adverse agency action). Our Bid Protest Procedures require a filing with our Office within 10 working days of formal notification of the initial adverse agency action. 4 C.F.R. S 21.2(a) (1981). Domar requests us to reconsider our decision because it believes that good cause exists for the consideration of the protest and that the protest raises issues significant to procurement practices and procedures. Our Bid Protest Procedures permit consideration o'i the merits of an untimely protest if either of these two exceptions exists. 4 C.F.R. § 21.2(c) (1981) I
