Protester’s Knowledge of SBA Regulations Renders Award Challenge Untimely; GAO B-415394, Herman Construction Group Inc.

Protest challenging the terms of an invitation for bids is dismissed as untimely, where the protester knew that SBA’s regulations required a solicitation for construction contracts issued through the 8(a) program to include a geographic restriction and that the IFB did not include this language, but failed to challenge this omission until after an awardee was identified.
