[Protest of Army Rejection of Bid As Nonresponsive]

A firm protested the Army's rejection of its bid under a solicitation that was a total small business set-aside. The Army rejected the bid because the protester indicated on a certification form that it would not furnish supplies produced by a small business. The protester contended that it also marked a space on the form indicating that the supplies would be produced by a small business. GAO held that, where a bid is subject to two reasonable interpretations, under one of which it is nonresponsive, the bid must be considered nonresponsive. Accordingly, the protest was denied.
