OF THE UNITUD elAVES WASHINGTON, D.C. 2054P45) FILE: B-191312 DATE: 'hwomber 27, 1978 MATTER OF: Burns Electronic Security Serv'ces, Inn. DIGEST: 1. Failure of low bidder to comply with bid guarantee provisions of IFS makes bid nonresponsive, and rejection nf bid is proper. 2. GSA modified IFB by amendment but inadvertently neglected to provide space for bidder's signature on modified bid form. Where bidder attached orig- inal bid form to modified bid form and original bid form was signed by bidder'a secretary, bid- der's intent to be bound is clear and bid is not nonresponsive for this reason. 3. Pailure to initial bid correction made with liquid paper where there is no doubt as to intended bid price is an informality which may be waived in interest of Government. 4. Bid guarantee is responsive where it is signed by individual but indicates that individual signed in his capacity as secretary of bidder, notarized deposition attached to bid bond indicates that such individual is secretary of bidder, and con- tracting officer ascertained that bidder's sec- retary had authority to sign bids and contracts on behalf of bidder. 5. Failure to complete supplement to Standard Form 19-B, Representations and Certifications, in advertised procurement does not make bid nunre- sponsive since Standard Foi'm 19-B is applicable only in negotiated procurements. Even where applicable, failure to complete Standard Form 19-B does not render bid nonresponsive and re- quired information may be submitted after bid opening.
