Byrd, Jr. United States Senate Dear Senator Byrd: We refer to your letter to our Office dated Janu- ary 16, 1978 (d), concerning the request of Mr. Vlarold i. Dion, President of Lion Recording Services, Inc., that you ascertain why it took 8 months to conclude that the firm's bid protest to our Office was not timely filed. Lion Recording Services, Inc. (Lion), filed its protest against the award of a contract by the United States Information Agency (USIA) to Podel Audio Services for sound recording, transfer and mixing services and materials for the period March 11, 1977, through March 10, 1978, with our Office onApril 5,1977. It was not apparent from Lion's submission that there was any problem with the timeliness of its protest. However, pursuant to our Bid Protest Procedures, 4 C.F.R. part 20 (1976), copy enclosed, USIA submitted a report re- sponsive to the protest in which the Agency contended that Lion's protest was untimely filed with our Office. Lion was given an opportunity to coniment on the report, and took exception toUSIA's contention that its protest , was untimely. At the protester's request, a conference attended by Lion an4 USIA was held at our Office to dis- cuss both the timeliness and merits of the protest-, the parties were given an opportunity to submit written, post-conference comments. Our decision in Lion Recording Services, Inc., B-188768, 77-2 CPV 114, was issued' on August 2, 1977. Lion's protest was dismissed as untimely and, therefore, not for consideration on the merits because it was filed with our Office more than 10 working days after Lion knew or should have known thebasis for the protest. 4 C.F.P. 20.2(b)(2) (1976). 7, ( . . . -: : ., -.-% : ..: ; :.' ,. :,. : :; -: '::. ; .. : ::;:- ::.T ' : ::-, , :!'L ;: : ' : :
