Our agency has a similar situation to the Sea Box, Inc., B-291056, October 31, 2002 GAO Case. The only difference is that late proposal was in response to an AMENDMENT to the initial solicitation.
- The KTR who submitted late in response to the AMENDMENT was on time with their proposal to the INITIAL solicitation.
- The KTR submitted his proposal via e-mail on his end at 1:30PM; The government received it at 2:30PM (30 minutes past the RFP due date).
- This late KTR is the apparent low by a significant amount.
Does the GAO case apply in this case or is the KTR protected by FAR 15.208 (2)?
Thanks.
