File: B-274410.2 Date: December 27, 1996 Edward L. Williams for the protester. Theodore M. Bailey, Esq., for Selrico Enterprises, Inc., an intervenor. Diane D. Hayden, Esq., and George N. Brezna, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Jacqueline Maeder, Esq., and Paul Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Bid that acknowledges all amendments to an invitation for bids (IFB), but which contains only the original version of the bid schedule, which was modified by an amendment which significantly changed several of the estimated required quantities, is nonresponsive because the bid is ambiguous regarding whether the bidder intends to be bound to the original or amended estimates. DECISION 3W American Enterprises, Inc. protests the rejection of its bid and the award of a contract to Selrico Enterprises, Inc. under invitation for bids (IFB) No. N68950-96-B- 0003, issued by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Department of the Navy, for housekeeping services at the Great Lakes Naval Hospital Complex, Naval Training Center, Great Lakes, Illinois. 3W American's bid was rejected as nonresponsive because the prices were entered on a superseded, incorrect bid schedule. 3W American contends that its bid was responsive because it acknowledged the amendment which modified the bid schedule. The protester also asserts that the awardee's bid should have been rejected for failure to acknowledge a material amendment. We deny the protest. The IFB contemplated the award of a combination firm, fixed-price and indefinite quantity contract and, as issued, contained a 27-page bid schedule calling for unit and extended prices for 131 line items divided into firm, fixed-price work and indefinite quantity work for a basic performance period of 1 year with four 1-year option periods. The line items on the original schedule divided both the fixed-price work and the indefinite quantity work to be accomplished into seven classes of 1141217
