Highlights
A protester to a contract award under a two-step procurement objected to the determination that it was nonresponsive. The protester's bid was properly rejected for taking exception to a solicitation requirement in its second-step bid even though the first-step bid was acceptable. The deviation offered by the protester materially affected the quality and price and rendered the bid nonresponsive.
