Highlights
A protester against a contract award alleged that the awardee's failure to submit a valid bid bond rendered its bid nonresponsive. A reference in the bond to an erroneous solicitation number was merely a clerical error since the correct bid opening date was referenced and there was no confusion as to the bid covered by the bond. The discrepancy did not affect the bond's enforceability by the government and the bid was, therefore, properly determined to be responsive.
