Moorhouse, Esq., Dorn C. McGrath III, Esq., and Ross W. Dembling, Esq., Holland & Knight, for the protester. Garrett L. Ressing, Esq., and Cynthia Guill, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Tania L. Calhoun, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST When a bidder does not bid based on the precise quantity, measurement, or volume called for in the invitation for bids, the bid must be rejected as nonresponsive unless the intended price for the proper quantity, measurement, or volume can be determined from the face of the bid or the effect of the deficiency on the price of the bid is clearly de minimis and waiver would not be prejudicial to other bidders. DECISION BFI Medical Waste Services protests the rejection of its bid as nonresponsive under invitation for bids (IFB) No. N68925-95-B-A498, issued by the Department of the Navy for medical waste removal and disposal services at various medical facilities within the jurisdiction of the Navy Public Works Center in Washington, D.C. We deny the protest. The IFB contemplated the award of a combination fixed-price/indefinite quantity contract for the pickup and disposal of medical waste and replacement containers at numerous specified medical facilities. Contract line item (CLIN) No. 0001 comprised the fixed-price portion of the contract, and CLIN No. 0002 comprised the indefinite quantity portion of the contract, for scheduled and unscheduled pickup and disposal of medical waste, respectively. Each CLIN consisted of two sub-line items, one for medical waste to be incinerated, and one for medical waste to be sterilized. Bids were requested on an all or none basis.
