Protest of agency's failure to solicit firm that requested a copy of solicitation in response to a procurement synopsis in the Commerce Business Daily (CBD) is denied where, although the protester knew--as a result of the CBD notice--that the agency estimated a May 25, 1996, closing date, the protester unreasonably delayed contacting the agency about its nonreceipt of the solicitation until months after its initial request (and after the September 13 actual closing date); the protester did not avail itself of every reasonable opportunity to obtain the solicitation. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-276669/html/GAOREPORTS-B-276669.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-276669/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-276669.pdf GAO/B-276669 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-276669 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-276669; Wind Gap Knitwear, Inc., B-276669, July 10, 1997; Title 10 Section 2304 10 U.S.C. 2304
