                           THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL
   OECISION                OF THE UNITED STATES
                            WASHINGTON. D.C. 20548




   FILE:       B-208964.4        DATE: April 1, 1983

   MATTER OF:     Acme Reporting Company, Inc.--
                    Reconsideration

   DIGEST:

        Request for reconsideration of protest
        decision filed more than 10 working days
        after protester received our decision, with
        which it disagrees, is untimely.

     Acme Reporting Company, Inc. (Acme), disagrees with our
decision, National Labor Relations Board  Request for
Advance Devision; Acme Reporting Company, Inc., B-208964,
B-208964.2, March 1, 1983, 83-1 CPD    , and requests our
reconsideration.

     In our decision we held that the rejection of Acme's
bid, based on price unreasonableness for copies of tran-
scripts to the public, was improper because such was not
made the subject of a binding work requirement. Our recom-
mendation was not to resolicit so long as Acme's bid was
otherwise proper unless the National Labor Relations Board
contemplates that the contractor, rather than itself, should
provide copies of the transcripts to the public. In its
request for reconsideration, Acme states that we failed to
address the question of whether its price to the public was
reasonable.

     Acme's request for reconsideration is untimely.

     Our Bid Protest Procedures, 4 C.F.R. § 21.9(b) (1982),
require that requests for reconsideration be filed within 10
working days after the basis for reconsideration is known or
should have been known. The 10-day period for reconsidera-
tion begins to run with the receipt of our decision.
Tenavision, Inc.--Reconsideration, B-207505.2, August 17,
1982, 82-2 CPD 137.

     Acme's request was filed with our Office on March 22,
1983. Our Office was advised that, at the latest, Acme's
counsel had received a copy our decision on March 4, 1983.
