File: B-287070 Date: January 31, 2001 George R. Mead, II, Esq., Clark, Partington, Hart, Larry, Bond & Stackhouse, for the protester. Sandra D. Jumper, Esq., Naval Supply Systems Command, for the agency. Paul I. Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest presenting argument raised in appeal under Office of Management and Budget Circular No. A-76 is untimely where filed with the General Accounting Office more than 10 days after contracting agency denied protester's appeal. While the protest was filed within 10 days of cancellation of the underlying solicitation, cancellation was merely implementation of the denial of the appeal. DECISION Crown Support Services Inc. protests the Department of the Navy's decision, pursuant to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular No. A-76, that it would be more economical to perform the Navy Northwest Region Personal Property Services function in-house rather than to contract for these services with Crown under solicitation No. N00406-00-R-5012. We dismiss the protest as untimely filed. On September 29, 2000, Crown received notice that the Navy's cost comparison had resulted in a determination that in-house performance under the government's most efficient organization (MEO) would be less costly than contracting with Crown, whose proposal the agency had previously determined represented the best value under a solicitation issued to obtain private-sector competition to select a proposal for cost comparison with the government's MEO. Crown timely filed an administrative appeal protesting that the cost comparison was flawed because, among other things, the MEO improperly utilized group counseling rather than individual counseling for certain services required under the applicable performance
