It is not relevant that the firm filed the request within 10 days of receiving the mailed copy of the decision, since to permit a firm with actual knowledge of and access to a decision on its protest to wait for receiving a copy in the mail before starting the 10-day reconsideration period would be inconsistent with the dual requirements reflected in GAO's timeliness rules of giving parties a fair opportunity to present their cases and resolving protests expeditiously without unduly disrupting or delaying the procurement process. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-274406-2/html/GAOREPORTS-B-274406-2.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-274406-2/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-274406-2.pdf GAO/B-274406.2 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-274406-2 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-274406.2; Speedy Food Service, Inc.--Reconsideration;
