Protest Against Determination That Bid Was Nonresponsive

A company protested the agency's determination that its bid was nonresponsive because it did not contain "current weight and balance" information in specific terms and alleged that the requirement for the information was unnecessary for meeting Government needs. The bid was properly found to be nonresponsive since it did not contain "current balance" information as required by the solicitation. The allegation that the information was unnecessary was untimely filed after bid opening. The term "current weight and balance" should be reviewed for clarity and, if necessary, corrective action taken for future procurements.
