Highlights
A protester to a contract award contended that the awardee's bid should have been rejected as nonresponsive for failure to submit a bid sample as required in the solicitation. Since the specification was clear and the agency erroneously required submission of the sample, the bidder who did not submit a sample prior to opening can be considered for award.
