MATTER OFt       IMR Systems Corporation


DIGEST:

  i    GAO policy is not to request documented
       repocts on untimely bid protests, since
       no useful purpose would be served.

  2.   Oral notice of rejection of proposal,
       along with a statement of the reasons
       for the rejection, is sufficient to
       place offeror on notice of basis of pro-
       test,

  3.   When GAO has no record of receipt of a
       protest within the 10-day time for fil-
       ing, a subsequently-filed copy of the
       protest is not adequate proof of timeli-
       ness, but must independently satisfy the
       10-day requirement.

  4.   GAO will consider an untimely protest
       when good cause, generally meaning
       some compelling reason beyond the pro-
       tester's control, is shown.  Telegraph
       company's failure to transmit telegram
       does not constitute good cause, since
       company is protester's agent, and error
       is legally attributable to protester as
       principal.

  5.   Where protest is clearly neither timely
       nor eligible for consideration under
       exception to timeliness rules of GAO Bid
       Protest Procedures, GAO will deny
       request for conference on issue of time-
       liness since it would have no useful
       purpose.

       IMR Systems Corporation requests reconsideration
