(806).

Authority: 4 C.t.R. 20.2(b) (1). B-188511 (1977).
The protester objected to the awa.-d of tvc requirene2ts
contracts, alleging that its bid was not ambiguous and that the
invitation for bids did not contain quantity estimates. The
protest with regard to the invitaticu was untimely and was not
considered. The protester's bid was reasonably subject to more
than one interpretation, only one of which made the bid low.
Sinue the bidder may not explain the bid's meaning and thereby
prejudice other bidders, the agency's rejection of the bid as
ambiguous was appropriate. (Author/SC)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobadexy0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
