Highlights
A company protested the rejection of its bid which was received late because the commercial carrier was directed by Government personnel to deliver it to the central receiving warehouse. Since the bid was late because of Government action and was in Government hands before bid opening, it should have been considered for award. The contract award will not be disturbed; however, the protester may submit a claim for bid preparation costs. (SW)
