Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States Decision Matter of: Vizocom File: B-418246.2 Date: February 14, 2020 Yuki Haraguchi, Esq., and Chidinma Okogbue, Esq., Holmes Pittman & Haraguchi LLP, for the protester. Benjamin A. Netzky, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency. Kasia Dourney, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that the agency unreasonably rejected the protester's hand-carried proposal as late is denied where the late delivery was not caused by improper government action but rather, the protester's own actions. 2. Protest that a hand-carried proposal was under government control and hence, even if late, should have been accepted by the agency is denied where the proposal was not delivered to a facility designated for receipt of proposals and where the protester did not relinquish control of the proposal prior to submission deadline. DECISION Vizocom of San Diego, California, challenges the rejection of its proposal submitted in response to request for proposals (RFP) No. W56HZV-1 9-R-0079, issued by the Department of the Army, Army Contracting Command, for heavy duty vehicle variants. The protester contends that the agency unreasonably rejected its proposal as late. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND The RFP, as amended, established the deadline for receipt of proposals as October 15, 2019, 12:00 p.m. Eastern time. Agency Report (AR), Tab 4, RFP amend. 3, at 1, 4. Of particular relevance here, the RFP specified one location to which proposals were to be addressed and another location to which they were to be delivered.
