Highlights

A firm requested reconsideration of a GAO decision which sustained a protest of a bid rejection because the protester's failure to acknowledge an amendment to a solicitation was a minor informality which did not change the parties' legal relationship. The requester argued that GAO disregarded information supplied by the agency and allowed the protester to abuse the procurement process by allowing it to decide after bid opening whether it would accept the contract. GAO did not agree with the requester because the protester had been bound by its bid as submitted. Since the requester failed to provide any new arguments or facts to show that the GAO decision was erroneous, the prior decision was affirmed.
