TLe protester objected to the award of a contract to
John B. Glader, the high bidder, becaise his bid was accompmniei
by a personal check rather thaa accertified check, cashier's
check, or postal roney order, as spedified in the invitation fzor
bids. The bid guarantee requirement was a material part of the
invitation which could not be waived and the submission of a
personal check rendered the bid nonresponsive. Receission of ths
sale, however, was not practical because the Governaent had
accepted payment, conveyed the proferty to the purchaser, ani
authorized the removal of the property. (Author/SC)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobadfaj0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
