           Matter of:  ICI Services, Inc.

           File:       B-409231.2

           Date:       April 23, 2014

           Michael J. Gardner, Esq., Shomari B. Wade, Esq., and Jennifer Mouchet Hall, Esq.,
           Troutman Sanders LLP, for the protester.
           Marvin D. Rampey, Esq., and Philip Lazarus, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the
           agency.
           Christina Sklarew, Esq., and Guy R. Pietrovito, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
           GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
           DIGEST

           An agency's rejection of a revised proposal as late is unreasonable and
           inconsistent with the terms of the solicitation where the record shows that the
           installation designated for receipt of proposals was in receipt of ICl's revised
           proposal by the closing time for receipt of revised proposals.
           DECISION

           ICI Services, Inc., of Virginia Beach, Virginia, protests the rejection of its proposal
           as late under request for proposals (RFP) No. N00024-13-R-3222, issued by the
           Department of the Navy for engineering support services for the Naval Surface
           Warfare Center in Port Hueneme, California. ICI contends that its proposal was
           timely received in accordance with the RFP's instructions.

           We sustain the protest.

           BACKGROUND

           The RFP, which provides for the issuance of a cost-plus-incentive-fee task order,
           was issued to vendors holding SeaPort-e multiple award indefinite-
           delivery/indefinite-quantity (ID/IQ) contracts in Southwest Zone 6 (Arizona,
           California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah). The solicitation, which was
           amended several times, was issued on the SeaPort-e Proposal Event Website on
           April 1, 2013. The closing date for submission of initial proposals was May 8.
