DIGEST

Protest challenging the terms of a solicitation, filed after the closing date established by
the solicitation, is dismissed as untimely.
DECISION

Rotair Aerospace Corporation of Bridgeport, Connecticut, protests the terms of request
for quotations (RFQ) No. SPE4A7-21-T-2716, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency
for coupling assemblies. The protester contends that it should have been listed in the
solicitation as an approved source of supply.

We  dismiss the protest as untimely.

The RFQ  was  issued on October 16, 2020, and established a closing date of
October 26. Req. for Dismissal, exh. 1, RFQ, at 1. The RFQ listed two approved
sources of supply; Rotair was not among those listed. Id. at 8. On December 21, Rotair
filed a protest with the agency, arguing that it should have been identified as an
approved source of supply. Req. for Dismissal, exh. 3, Agency Bid Protest, Dec. 21,
2020.  On January 21, 2021, the agency dismissed Rotair's protest as untimely,
explaining that, to the extent your protest challenges the sourcing of this item, your
protest is untimely as you did not submit a protest prior to the closing of the
solicitation.1 Req. for Dismissal, exh. 4, Resp. to Agency Bid Protest, Jan. 21, 2021,
at 1.


1 The agency also denied Rotair's protest to the extent the protester contended that its
firm was an approved source of supply that had been improperly removed from the list
                                                                      (continued...)
