C. 20543U FILE: B-190218 DATE: November 23, 1977 MATTER OF: Communicology, Inc. D!GEST: 1. Letter submitted to agency prior to closing date set for receipt of proposals which merely x equests an extension of the closing date cannot be considered as timely sub- mitted proposal, and complete proposal submitted 10 days after closing is late and cannot be considered. 2. .ngency's refusal to extend date set for receipt of proposals is not arbitrary where record shows that agency had reasonable basis for so refusing and that principal cause of delay in pro- tester's receiving solicitation package was protester's own tardiness. Communicology, Inc. protests the rejection of its proposal as late by the Naval Electronic Systems Command (NAVELEX) under request for proposal (RFP) N00039-77-R-0038(Q). Corarnunicology bases its protest on its claim that NAVELEX failed to furnish it with a complete copy of the solicitation in sufficient time for it to submit a proposal by the scheduled closing date. Protester also clains that the agency's failure to extend the closing date was an undue restriction on competition. Alter- natively, protester asserts that a letter submitted prior to the closing date should be considered as a timely proposal and that its final submission (a formal proposal) should be treated as a modification to its time)1' letter proposal. Protester requests that NAVELEX be directed to accept and evaluate its September 23 proposal. Notice of the solicitation was published in the Commerce Business Daily on July 18, 1977, with a closing date of August 3, 1977. On August 1, .977 the solicitation was modified and the closing date extended to August 30, 1977. Subsequently, on August 17, an additional amendment to the solicitation was iss!'ed and the closing date was extended to September 6, 1977. On August 19, 1977. app.oximnately 1 month after the Commerce II
