[Protest of GSA Rejection of Bids as Nonresponsive]

A firm protested the General Services Administration's (GSA) rejection of its bids as nonresponsive to two solicitations, contending that: (1) GSA improperly determined that its bids were ambiguous as to the offer acceptance period; (2) it offered an additional 60-day acceptance period beyond what each solicitation required; (3) its bids were low; and (4) a solicitation requirement for a minimum 120-day acceptance period was excessive. GAO held that: (1) GSA reasonably determined that the protester bid only a 60-day acceptance period in each instance; (2) it was unreasonable to interpret the protester's bids as offering additional 60-day periods; (3) the fact that the protester's bids were low was irrelevant, since they were nonresponsive; and (4) the protester untimely protested that the solicitation requirements were excessive. Accordingly, the protest was denied in part and dismissed in part.
