         Matter of:  Harrington, Moran, Barksdale, Inc.

         File:       B-401934.2; B-401934.3

         DIGEST

         Protest that agency unreasonably determined that an offeror's revised proposal did
         not meet the solicitation's submittal requirement is dismissed as untimely; any
         conflict between the requirement as described in the agency's discussions letter (as
         interpreted by the protester) and the solicitation requirement created a patent
         ambiguity that should have been filed prior to the submission deadline for revised
         proposals.
         DECISION

         Harrington, Moran, Barksdale, Inc. (HMBI), of Arlington, Texas, protests the
         issuance of Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) task orders to other offerors under
         request for quotations (RFQ) No. R-OPC-23441, issued by the Department of Housing
         and Urban Development  (HUD) for asset manager services to assist the agency with
         ensuring lender compliance with property conveyance requirements. The protester
         asserts that the agency unreasonably determined that the protester's proposal failed
         to comply with the RFQ's submittal requirements.


We dismiss the protest.
