    MATTER OF:     Air Tech Industries -- Reconsideration


    DIGEST:


1.   Request for reconsideration that does not
     challenge facts or law upon which initial
     decision was based, but raises new issues
     based on facts available to protester at the
     time of original protest, is considered new
     protest, and GAO will dismiss it for failure
     to independently meet timeliness require-
     ments.

2.   GAO will dismiss request for reconsideration
     when protester alleges it filed oral and
     written protests with contracting agency
     before closing date for receipt of initial
     proposals, but agency has no record of
     protests and protester has not submitted
     additional information concerning them
     within 5 days after GAO's request for such
     information.


     Air Tech Industries requambsreconsideration of our
decision in Air Tech Industries, R-.IZ52,- April 12, 19.2,
83-1 CPD 389, in which we dismissed as untimely a protest
alleging that the specifications in solicitation No.
N00189-83-R-3078, issued by the U.S. Naval Supply Center,
Norfolk, Virginia, were ambiguous. As its basis for
reconsideration, Air Tech alleges the Navy failed to
provide copies of the solicitation so that it could be
reviewd before the pre-proposal conference. Additionally,
Air h contends it did protest to the Navy by telephone
and tRex before      March 7, 1983, closing date for
receipt of initial proposals, so that its March 9 protest
to our Office should be considered timely. We dismiss the
request for reconsideration.

     Wh4Ti1e Air Tech's al1egation with regard to the Navy's
failure to provide ad;vance copies of the solicitation is
new, it also is uncim..!y, since this issue was not raised
until its April 21, 1983, request for reconsideration.
