             Washington, D.C. 20548
             Decision




             Matter of: General Physics Federal Systems, Inc.

             File:       B-274795

             Date:       January 6, 1997

             William M. Weisberg, Esq., William T. Welch, Esq., and Monica C. Gray, Esq.,
             Barton, Mountain & Tolle, for the protester.
             James J. McCullough, Esq., Joel R. Feidelman, Esq., Catherine E. Pollack,
             Esq., and Lawrence E. Ruggiero, Esq., Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver &
             Jacobson, for Science Applications International Corporation, an intervenor.
             Edward L. Williamson, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency.
             Scott H. Riback, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General
             Counsel, General Accounting Office, participated in the preparation of the
             decision.
             DIGEST

             1. Protest against acceptance of offer that included proposal to use as a
             subcontractor the United States Department of Agriculture Graduate School
             (USDAGS) is dismissed as untimely; record shows that protester was advised
             at time of award that successful offeror proposed to use USDAGS to perform
             contract, and was further advised of the agency's position that this was legally
             permissible, but failed to diligently pursue publically available information that
             may have established basis for protest at that time.

             2. Protest contentions based on information obtained by protester in
             connection with other untimely allegations are dismissed as untimely; had
             protester diligently pursued original basis for protest, information allegedly
             supporting additional arguments would have been obtained earlier and
             additional arguments would have been raised at that time.
             DECISION

             General Physics Federal Systems, Inc. (GPFS) protests the award of a
             contract to Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) under
             request for proposals (RFP) No. DASW01-96-D-0033, issued by the Department
             of the Army for services in connection with various education and training
             programs. GPFS principally maintains that SAIC improperly proposed The
             United States Department of Agriculture Graduate School (USDAGS) as a
             subcontractor, and now intends to substitute another subcontractor.
