Adam Vodraska, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST An unsigned bid is responsive where the individual that signed the Certificate of Procurement Integrity was authorized to bind the bidder at the time the bid was submitted. DECISION M.R. Dillard Construction protests the cancellation of the award of contract No. DACA27-96-C-0040 to Dillard by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Louisville District, under invitation for bids (IFB) No. DACA27-96-B-0014, for the installation of additional railroad track at Fort Campbell, Kentucky.1 We sustain the protest. Dillard submitted the low bid by the February 22, 1996, bid opening. Dillard's bid omitted the back of Standard Form (SF) 1442, Solicitation, Offer, and Award, included with the IFB, on which the bidder is to execute its offer and the government make award. The back of the SF 1442 contains an offer section including, among other items, spaces for the bidder to enter the name and title of the person authorized to sign the offer, a space for that person's signature, and spaces to acknowledge amendments. The offer section also provides a space for a bidder to enter the dollar amount of its bid, although in this case bidders were instructed to instead enter their prices on a bid schedule included on a separate continuation sheet. The back of the SF 1442 contained other material provisions such as the minimum bid acceptance period and the bidder's agreement to furnish performance and payment bonds. Dillard's bid did contain the front side of the SF 1442. 'This decision is made under our express option procedures, 4 C.F.R. § 21.10 (1996). 12867
