DIGZT

Dismissal of protest as untimely filed is affirmed on
reconsideration where protester argues that it was not on
notice of agency's February 14 denial of its agency-level
protest until February 27, since March 14, the date protest
was filed, is 11 working days after February 27; under Bid
Protest Regulations, protests must be filed within 10 working
-days after notice of denial of agency-level protest.

WCSrO,

The Pr6tectoseal Company requests reconsideration of our
March 15, 1991, decision dismissing its protest of the
rejection of its offer under'solicitation No. FCNO-90-J201-N,
issued by the General Services Administration. We dismissed
the protest as untimely because it was not received in our
Office until March 14, more than 10 working days after the
protester learned of the agency's February 14 denial of the
firm'%s January 4 agency-level protest. under our Bid Protest
Regulations, protests must be filed in our Office no later
than 10 working days after the protester knows or should know
of the agency's initial adverse action on an agency-level
protest. 4 C.F.R. § 21.2(a) (3) (1991).

Protectoseal argues in its reconsideration request that its
protest in fact is timely since it did not receive the
agencyts February 14 letter until February 27i Even measuring
from this date, however, the protest is untimely. March 14 is
11 working days after February 27, not 10 working days as
Protectoseal assumes. Protectoseal's protest letter is dated
March 13 and may have been sent on that date, but a protest is
not deemed to be filed until it is actually received in our
Office.   4 C.F.R. S 21.0(g). The time/date stamp on
