B-198952.2 1 (1981-10-05)

handle is hein.gao/gaobadjuc0001 and id is 1 raw text is: a v THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL DECISION '7.'. OF THE UNITEO STATES W WAS HI NG TO0N . DC. 20548 FILE: B-198952.2 DATE: October 5, 1981 MATTER OF: Space Age Surveyors - Request for Reconsideration DIGEST: Request by agency for reconsideration received more than 10 working days after agency knew of basis for request is untimely. 4 C.F.R. S 21.9 (1981). On July 21, 1981, the United States Forest Service (USFS) filed a request that we reconsider the second part of our decision in the case of Space Age Surveyors, B-198952, et al., June 9, 1981, 81-1 CPD 469, in which we took exception to a geographic restriction which limited potential offerors on USFS surveying contracts to surveyors having an office within a specified distance from the jobsite. We found USFS's actual requirement to be for a surveyor with experience in the vicinity of the job rather than for a surveyor whose office is in a specified locale. The USFS's request for reconsideration is based on information known to the USFS no later than the date it received our decision. Our Bid Protest Procedures, 4 C.F.R. part 21 (1981), require that requests for reconsideration be filed within 10 working days of the date on which the requester knew or should have known of the basis for its request for reconsideration. 4 C.F.R. S 21.9 (1981). Since this request was not filed within 10 working days of when the USFS received our decision, it is untimely. See Department of Commerce; Inter- national Computaprint Corporation, B--190203, August 2, 1978, 78-2 CPD 84. We will, however, comment briefly because the USFS's request for reconsideration leads us to believe that the USFS has misinterpreted our prior decision to preclude all geographic limitations in its solicita- tions for surveying services. This is not the case. J5q
