Bidder Nonresponsive for Failure To Meet Affirmative Action Requirements

A company protested the rejection of its bid as nonresponsive to affirmative action requirements, explaining that an insertion in the certification indicating that it did not intend to use any construction trade was due to a misinterpretation. The bid was properly rejected since it lacked the required commitment to affirmative action for a trade or trades which would be used to perform the contract.
