Highlights

A protester to a contract award alleged that the low bid was nonresponsive for failure to furnish detention rates comparable to regulated tariffs governing the local area of the receiving activity. The contracting officer did not abuse his discretion in determining that the bidder's deviation from the provision relating to detention rates could be waived as a minor informality since the additional cost to the Government resulting from the deviation was small compared to the total bid and to the difference between the low and second low bids.
