 MATTER OF: Small Business Administration--
              Aunyx Manufacturing Corporation--
              Reconsideration
 DIGEST:



 1.  Small Business Administratioii (SBA) is not:
     an eligible party to request reconsidera-
     tion of GAO decisions where it did not
     participate in the initial protest.

 2.  Statutory provision that authorizes SBA's
    Chief Counsel for Advocacy to represent tne
    interests of small businesses does not
    require GAO to consider that official's
    request that GAO reconsider its prior deci-
    sion when under GAO Bid Protest Procedures
    SBA is not eligible to make such request.

 3. Protest of a contracting agency's rejection
    of an offer as late does not present a
    significant issue warranting an exception
    to the timeliness rules in GAO's Bid Protest
    Procedures: since the protest does not raise
    an issue of widespread importance to the pro-
    curement community or involve a matter not
    considered on the merits in previous deci-
    sions.

    The Small Business Administration (SBA) requests
that we reconsider our decisions in Aunyx Manufacturing.
Corporation, B-208002, July 7, 1982, 82-2 CPD 30, (where
wedTmifSsed as untimely Aunyx's protest of the rejec-
tion of its offer by the General Services Administration
(GSA)) and Aunyx Manufacturing Corporation--Recons id-
eration, B-208002.2, August 17, 1902, 82-2 CPD 138,
Twhere we denied Aunyx's request for reconsideration
because we found that Aunyx had failed to present facts
or legal arguments showing our previous decision to have
been erroneously decided). For the reasons that follow,
the request is denied.
