Protest Against Rejection of Bid as Nonresponsive to Subcontractor Listing and Affirmative Action Requirements

A company protested rejection of its bid as nonresponsive to the solicitation's subcontractor listing and affirmative action requirements. The alleged improprieties were apparent prior to bid opening, but the protest was not filed until after bid opening and was untimely. The protester was not responsive because it did not include a list of subcontractors, an act which would afford it an opportunity for bid shopping.
