                 ,  MATTER OF:  Introl Corporation--request for
                                 Reconsideration

   I             DIGEST:

                       Cancellation of a solicitation because
                       the requirement For the ite.iKs no longer
                       exists renders moot a request for recon-
                       sideration of our decision holding that
                       a bidder offering a prior bid acceptance
                       period shorter than that requested iii
                       the solicitation could not extend that
                       period in order to qualify for award,
                       since no award is to be made under the
                       solicitation even if the bidder is
                       allowed to extend the bid acceptance
                       period.


                       Introl Corporation requests reconsideration of
                 our decision in Introl Corporation, D-206012, Febru-
                 ary 24, 1982, 82-1 CPt 164, in that decision, we
   *             held that Introl could not be permitted to extend
                 its bid acceptance period in order to qualify for
   .1            award since it had not offered the acceptance period
                 requested in the invitation for bids, and any such'
                 extension thus would be prejudicial to other bidders
                 who had offered .the requested period.

   I                  We dismiss the reconsideration request.  The
       *         contracting agency now advises us that the require-
   .             ment in issue no longer exists, and the solicita-
                 tion therefore has been canceled, pursuant to Federal
                 Procurement Regulations 5 1-2#404-1(b)(2) (1964
                 ed.). Thus, even if Introl were permitted to extend
                 its offered bid acceptance period, no award would
                 be made under the invitation. Introl's request for
4  j             reconsideration therefore is moot, and will not be
   ;I            considered.  See Freund Precision, Inc., B-201013,
