Highlights
The protester to a contract award challenged the Small Business Administration's determination of the successful bidder's responsibility, stating that the issue involved was one of responsiveness. The bidder may propose a substitute housekeeper after the bid opening when the one cited in the bid was unacceptable since the requirement involved responsibility and not bid responsiveness.
