Highlights
A company which inserted a handwritten note into its bid prior to bid opening protested award of the contract to any other contractor. The note accompanying the bid could not be considered since it limited the time for acceptance of the bid contrary to a material provision of the solicitation. The contracting officer lacked the authority to permit the bidder to delete the limiting language from the bid; the bid could not be considered.
