Highlights
Award of a construction contract at the Sepulveda, California, Veterans Administration (VA) Hospital was protested on the allegation that the VA improperly accepted the awardee's hand delivered late bid. The lateness was due to improper Government action, and corroborating evidence established that the amount of the bid as submitted at the time of bid opening had not been altered.
