handle is hein.gao/gaobadnxb0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroer Gemer athe Umitd Statm W.*aIpav D.C SUW__, Decision Hatter of: p8-logistics, Inc.--Reconsideration File: B-244162.2 Date: June 27, 1991 Fred Schattenstein for the protester. - Guy R. Pietrovito, Esq., and Jameis A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. 1. The General Accounting Office (GAO) affirms dismissal of a protest as untimely filed, even though the protester claims it was unfamiliar with the timeliness requirements of GAO's Bids Protest Regulations and that the procuring agency failed to inform the protester of the requirements of the regulations, since the regulations are published in the Federal Register and the protester is therefore on constructive notice of their contents. 2. The fact that a protester is a small business provides no basis for waiving the timeliness requirements of the General Accounting Office Bid Protest Regulations because the only two exceptions recognized by the regulations to the timeliness rules--for protests presenting significant issues and for good cause--are not applicable. ISCIZZoN pH-logistics, Inc. requests that we reconsider our decision in pH-logistics, Inc., B-244162, May 29, 1991, 91-1 CPD I which dismissed the firm's protest of the rejection of Its' bid as unbalanced under invitation for bids No. 688-17-90, issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). We found that the pH-logistics' protest was filed more than 10 workinq days after it learned of the denial of its agency-level protest and was thus untimely filed under our Bid Protest Regulations, 4 C.F.R. § 21.2(a) (3) (1991). We affirm the dismissal.
