Alleged Failure of Awardee to Comply with Solicitation Requirements

The protester alleged that the successful bidder failed to comply with the terms of the invitation for bids, which allegedly required each bidder to submit with its bid a certification letter for the specific Type III marine sanitation devices offered. The protest was denied since the invitation for bids only required, and the successful bidder submitted, a copy of the certification letter for any Type III device. The applicable statute and regulations covering the devices required did not affect the responsiveness of the bid.
