           Protest challenging agency's decision not to consider offeror's proposal is denied
           where the proposal was not received at the specified locations prior to the time set
           for receipt of proposals.
           DECISION

           Washingtonian Coach Corporation (WCC), of Silver Spring, Maryland, a
           service-disabled veteran-owned small business, protests the rejection of its
           proposal as late, under request for proposals (RFP) No. VA 19A-16-R-0324, issued
           by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), for executive driver transportation
           services. WCC contends that it submitted a timely proposal that the agency
           improperly rejected.

           We deny the protest.

           The VA issued the RFP on September 8, 2016, as a veteran-owned small business
           (VOSB) set-aside for executive driver transportation services in the National Capital
           Region and other geographical locations in neighboring states.' RFP at 6. The
           RFP anticipated the award of a labor-hour contract for a 1-year base period and
           four 1-year option periods. RFP at 57 and 13-15.

           1 This RFP was issued pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) part 12
           procedures for the acquisition of commercial items.
