Savings Achieved by Splitting Award

The protester objected to the agency's splitting of the award of the contract for several related items. Under paragraph 10(c) of Standard Form 33A, included in the solicitation, the Government may accept any item or group of items of any offer. An invitation for bids provision which states that bids must be submitted for "all quantities" does not mean that a bid covering more than one item is submitted on an "all or none" basis. The protest was denied.
