Highlights
The low bidder protested against the rejection of its bid as nonresponsive to affirmative action requirements of the solicitation and against award to the second low bidder. Bidders were required to commit themselves to either Part I of the bid conditions, involving commitment to the Topeka Plan, or Part II which involved other commitments. The low bid was not responsive to these conditions since the protester signed a Part I certificate as a member of the plan although it was not a member at the time of bid opening and inserted "Does not apply" under Part II.
