[Protest of GPO Rejection of Bid for Publishing Services]

A firm protested the Government Printing Office's (GPO) rejection of its bid for publishing services, contending that GPO improperly rejected its bid as nonresponsive. GAO held that GPO reasonably rejected the protester's bid, since the price schedule contained a handwritten notation that materially lowered the quantity covered by the unit price and thus the price bid was for significantly lower quantity than called for by the solicitation. Accordingly, the protest was denied.
