Miller, Draughon LLC, for the protester. Capt. Meghan E. Mahaney, and Scott N. Flesch, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency. Paul N. Wengert, Esq., and Tania Calhoun, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that awardee's bid should have been rejected as nonresponsive is denied where agency properly waived omission of unit prices as minor informality, where bid was signed by representative of awardee, and where bid provided licenses of subcontractor's employees to meet requirement for proof of state license. DECISION Draughon LLC, of Dunn, North Carolina, a small business, protests the award of a contract to Gregory Landscape Services, Inc., also a small business,' of Lexington, South Carolina, by the Department of the Army, under invitation for bids (IFB) No. W9124G-16-B-0002 for grounds maintenance services for Fort Rucker, in Alabama. Draughon argues that it was able to see only parts of Gregory's bid, it 1 The bids submitted by both firms represented that each was a woman-owned small business for this procurement. Draughon states that during this protest, the Small Business Administration (SBA) ruled that Gregory is other than small for this procurement. Email from President of Draughon to Counsel for Army and to GAO, Sept. 19, 2016, at 1. Determinations of small business status are matters within the statutory jurisdiction of the SBA, so this decision expresses no view on that issue, and the effect of the SBA ruling is not at issue in this protest.
