OPINION BY ADMINISTRATIVE JUDGE MCILMAIL ON APPELLANT’S MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION

Appellant requests reconsideration of our recent decision denying its Board Rule 12.2 appeal; we held that because appellant failed to deliver 150 of 225 locks by the May 5, 2023 date set by the government’s unilateral purchase order, or at all, no completed purchase and sale contract for those 150 locks came into existence. Paragon Defense Solutions., Inc., ASBCA No. 64309, 26-1 BCA ¶ 38,950 at 189,584. Motions for reconsideration do not afford litigants the opportunity to take a “second bite at the apple.” Avant Assessment, LLC, ASBCA No. 58867, 15-1 BCA ¶ 36,137 at 176,384. At bottom, appellant reargues the case it made before we issued our decision.
