Highlights

A firm protested the Forest Service's rejection of its bid for lateral files, contending that the Service improperly rejected its bid as nonresponsive, since its descriptive literature did not qualify the bid. GAO held that the protester's bid did not contradict its descriptive literature, which included a legend reserving its right to change the product specifications. Accordingly, the protest was denied.
