handle is hein.gao/gaocrptaeja0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: Wright Tool Company File: B-272413 Date: September 11, 1996 Sam Z. Gdanski, Esq., for the protester. Marie Adamson Collins, Esq., General Services Administration, for the agency. Linda C. Glass, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Low bid which unequivocally offered to perform in accordance with solicitation requirements is responsive; protest styled as questioning bid responsiveness which actually relates to affirmative determination of responsibility is not for review by our Office absent circumstances not present here. DECISION Wright Tool Company protests the award of a contract to Sigma West under invitation for bids (IFB) No. 6FES-G6-94G617-S, issued by the General Services Administration's Federal Supply Service, Tools Acquisition Division II, for tool kits made up of 10 items. Wright argues that Sigma's bid for one of the items was nonresponsive because Sigma offered a nonconforming product. We dismiss the protest. The solicitation, issued June 30, 1995, requested bids for tool kits consisting of 10 items which were further broken into components, with award to be made on an item-by-item basis to the low responsive bidders. Nine responses were received by the October 26, 1995, bid opening. Sigma submitted bids for items 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, and 10. Wright submitted a bid for item 8. Sigma was the low bidder on items 4, 5, 8, and 10. Wright's bid was second low for item 8. At issue here is a component contained in Item No. 8, identified as No. 85 (5120-00- 221-7980), a ratchet wrench, which was to be provided in accordance with Federal Specification GGG-C-744A, dated May 15, 1965, and Interim Amendment-i, dated January 12, 1971. Sigma's bid took no exception to these specifications. 102911
