Moore, Esq., Shumate, Kraftson & Sparrow, P.C., and Richard D. Corona, Esq., Corona & Balistreri, for the protester. Davide Golia, Esq., Marks & Golia, LLP, for Daley Corporation-California Commercial Asphalt Corporation, an intervenor. Frank K. Kotarski, Esq., Christopher M. Bellomy, Esq., and George N. Brezna, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Linda C. Glass, Esq., and Paul I. Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Where bidder acknowledges solicitation amendment changing the minimum bid acceptance period from 90 to 120 calendar days, but inserts 90 in the bid form blank for proposing an acceptance period, the bid is ambiguous as to the offered bid acceptance period, a material solicitation requirement, and is therefore nonresponsive. DECISION Sundt Corporation protests the rejection of its bid as nonresponsive under invitation for bids (IFB) No. 68711-94-B-1587, issued by the Department of the Navy for certain construction at the Marine Corps Air Station at Miramar, California. We deny the protest. The Navy issued the IFB on July 1, 1996, with a minimum bid acceptance period of 90 calendar days. Amendment No. 0001, issued July 18, changed, among other things, the minimum bid acceptance period to 120 calendar days. Bid opening was on August 1, and Sundt was the low bidder. In its bid, Sundt inserted 90 days in the blank provided on Standard Form (SF) 1442 as its bid acceptance period and included an acknowledgment of the amendment that changed the minimum bid acceptance period to 120 days. 1114115
