(Edmonds), against the award of a contract for the ventilation of buildings at the Red River Army Depot, Texarkana, Texas, under invitation for bids (IFB) No. DAAG47-85-B-0069, issued by the United States Army. According to the correspondence, Edmonds was the low bidder, but the Army rejected Edmonds' bid as nonresponsive because it did not acknowledge a material amendment. Edmonds contends that its bid was improperly rejected. Edmonds asserts that it never received the amendment and it therefore was unable to acknowledge the amendment. Edmonds further contends that although the amendment changed some wage rates, it did not change the wage rate for electricians and, since this contract would be performed entirely by electricians, the amendment would not have affected its bid price and, therefore, was immaterial. We are unable to consider this matter on the merits, because it was untimely filed with our Office. Edmonds initially orally protested the rejection of its bid to the Army on June 27, 1985, and then followed that up by letter of July 3. The agency denied the protest by letter of .July 10. Edmonds then, by letter of July 16, requested that the agency reconsider its denial of the protest, but apparently it has not received any response to that request. Your letter on behalf of Edmonds was filed with our Office on August 12. II
