[Protest That GSA Improperly Determined Expiration of Bid]

A firm protested the General Services Administration's (GSA) determination that its bid for typewriter repair services had expired, contending that: (1) it mistakenly inserted the wrong date on the bid acceptance extension form; (2) GSA should have notified it of the mistake before the expiration date; (3) it orally extended its bid; and (4) GSA improperly corrected the awardee's form to show the correct date. GAO held that: (1) GSA properly rejected the protester's bid extension since the protester failed to extend the bid to the date requested; (2) the protester could not orally extend its bid acceptance period since it did not have a viable bid in existence on the date it requested an extension; and (3) the awardee corrected its own extension date on the form before submitting it to GSA. Accordingly, the protest was dismissed.
