DECISION

Teledyne CME requests reconsideratibn of our'decigion
Teledyne CME, B-223609, Sept. 23, 1986, 86-2 C.P.D. I   , in
which we held, in part, that Teledyne's allegation that the
Air Force had improperly certified the awardee, Watkins-
Johnson, as an approved source for Solid State Acoustical
Memory Systems (SSAMS) under the solicitation in question was
untimely filed. We so held because the protest related to an
alleged apparent solicitation impropriety, but was not filed
until after the closing date for receipt of initial
proposals. We affirm our prior decision.

In its request for reconsideration, Teledyne concedes the
untimeliness of the specific allegation, contained in its
initial protest, that Watkins-Johnson was improperly desig-
nated as an approved source for the SSAMS. However, Teledyne
asserts that our decision incorrectly equates this allegation
with an argument which was filed in its supplemental protest,
based on information allegedly first revealed in the agency
report. This alleged new protest basis concerns the exact
method by which the Air Force determined that Watkins-Johnson
was an approved source--namely by evaluation of the perform-
ance of a different, interchangeable SSAMS unit which
Watkins-Johnson was producing for ITT as a subcontractor, to
ITT specifications, rather than by evaluation under the Air
Force specification referenced in the solicitation. Teledyne
asserts that our aecision does not address this argument that
the Air Force applied changed evaluation criteria by errone-
ously approving Watkins-Johnson's SSAMS on the basis of
evaluation by similarity rather than by direct evaluation.
