Protest allegations are dismissed as untimely where protester failed to raise them within 10 days of when it knew or should have known of the bases for its allegations. 2. Protest that the agency misevaluated protester's technical proposal is denied where the record shows that the agency's evaluation was consistent with the terms of the solicitation and applicable statutes and regulations. 3. Protester is not an interested party to challenge agency's evaluation of awardee's proposal, the agency's responsibility determination, or the agency's source selection decision where protester would not be in line for award if its protest were sustained.
