Highlights
A company protested rejection of its bid as nonresponsive and maintained that an amendment extending the bid opening and award dates superseded the 60-day acceptance period required by the solicitation. A decision was rendered without requesting a report from the procuring agency because it was clear from the protester's initial submission that the protest was without legal merit. The bid acceptance period was a material requirement of the solicitation, and the bid was properly rejected as nonresponsive.
