DC. 20546 IT.O.L JOFTHEU IE[ TTE FILE: fB-207353.2 DATE: September 8, 198,2 MATTER OF: Edron, Inc,--Reconsideration DIGEST: Prior decision dismissing protest as 'untimely is affirmed where significant issue is not present to justify exception to the application of GAO Bid Protest Procedures and fact that protest was only a few days late does not satisfy timeli- ness requirements which are strictly applied. Edron, Inc. (Edron), requests reconsideration of our prior decision in the matter of Edron, Inc., B-207353, June 9, 1982, 82-1 CPD 557, which dismissed as untimely Edron's protest against the Defense Per- sonnel Support Ce.nter's (DPSC) award of a contract under solicitation No. DLA120-82-R-0789. Edron contends that the protest raises issues significant to procurement practices which should be considered on the merits under section 21.2(c) of our Bid Protest Procedures (4 C.F.R. part 21 (1982)) arid that the protest was untimely by only 1 or 2 days. Our June 9, 1982, decinion was based on the fact that on April 12, 1982, Edron received DPSC's reply denying Edron's protest to the contracting officer. Edron filed a protest with cur Office on May 3, 1982, which was untimely. Under S 21.2(a) of our id Protest Procedures, which requires that when a protest is initially filed with the contracting agency, a Eubs2quent protest to our Office must be filed within 10 working days of knowledge of the initial adverse agency action. Consequently, we held Edron's protest was untimely because the lasc: day for timely filing its protest was April 26, 1982. Although the rule may seem harsh to Edron because the protest is ,-'ly a few days late, we do not regard our timeliness stcandards as mere technicalities. To 7*'tY t 'W~' rt r~ w~r~~ . .
