Bidder Nonresponsiveness for Failure To Acknowledge Amendment

The protester objected to the rejection of its bid as nonresponsive for failure to acknowledge an amendment to the solicitation which substituted the latest Davis-Bacon wage determination affecting employees performing work under the contract. The bid was properly determined to be nonresponsive since the omission was not a minor informality which could be waived. Inadvertent misdirection of the solicitation amendment did not require cancellation of the solicitation since the procurement activity was not the insurer of prompt delivery.
