MATTER OF:     Security Assistance Forces & Equipment
              oHG--Reconsideration

DIGEST:


      Request for reconsideration that does
      not challenge the initial decision or the
      facts or law upon which it was based, but
      only raises new issues based on facts
      available to the protester at the time of
      the original protest, is considered a new
      protest and is dismissed for failure inde-
      pendently to meet the timeliness require-
      ments for such protests.

      Security Assistance Forces & Equipment oHG (SAFE)
 requests reconsideration of our decision, in Security
 Assistance Forces & Equipment bHG, B-209555, Novem-
 ber 16, 1982, 82-2 CPD 449. SAFE had protested that
 several solicitations for smoke alarms issued by the
 United States Air Force's contracting office in the
 Federal Republic of Germany were defective because
 they did not require that the smoke alarms, meet the
 standards of Underwriters Laboratory. We dismissed
 the protest because SAFE's contention that the speci-
 fication was too broad did not raise an issue that was
 reviewable under our bid protest function. SAFE now
 contends it has since learned from an awardee of one
 of the contracts that the solicitations included pro-
 visions limiting the competition for the smoke alarms to
 the photo-electric type, thereby precluding suppliers of
 ionization smoke detectors. For the reasons discussed
 below, we consider SAFE's request a new protest, and we
 dismiss it as untimely.

      A request for reconsideration as described in section
 21.9 of our Bid Protest Procedures, 4 C.F.R. part 21
 (1982), requires a detailed statement of the factual and
 legal grounds upon which reversal or modification is
 deemed warranted. A request must specify any errors of
 law made or information not previously considered.
