The Navy sought to dismiss Guam Shipyard’s protest as untimely after noting the GAO received the protest after
quotations were due, factoring in the difference in time zones between Washington, D.C., and Guam.1178 Specifically, the
Navy contended the Far East time zone is fifteen hours ahead of eastern time, meaning the GAO time/date stamped the
protest approximately seven hours after the time set for receipt of quotations.1179 The GAO agreed and then explained that
complying with this timeline is important because agencies need adequate notice if they are going to remedy any acquisition
deficiencies.1180
