DECISION CBMC, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Graebel Movers by the Corporation for National and Community Service under solicitation No. HQKMR0507 for relocation and moving services for its AmeriCorps*NCCC Central Regional Campus. We dismiss the protest as untimely because it was filed more than 10 calendar days after the protester knew, or should have known, of the basis for its protest. Our Bid Protest Regulations contain strict rules for the timely submission of protests. These rules require that a protest based on other than alleged improprieties in a solicitation be filed, either with the agency or our Office, no later than 10 calendar days after the protester knew, or should have known, the basis for protest, whichever is earlier. 4 C.F.R. § 21.2(a)(2) (2004). Our timeliness rules reflect the dual requirements of giving parties a fair opportunity to present their cases and resolving protests expeditiously without unduly disrupting or delaying the procurement process.
