Failure To Bid on One Item

The protester objected to the rejection of its low bid as nonresponsive for failure to bid on one of 118 line items. Where the bidder omitted a price for one item and the bidding pattern for similar items showed consistent pricing, varying no more than $.02 regardless of the difference in quantity or location of installation, the bidder may be permitted to cure the omission since the rule requiring rejection as nonresponsive does not apply where the bid as submitted indicates the probability and nature of the error and the amount intended.
