          Decision


          Matter of: Christolow Fire Protection Systems

          File:       B-286585

          Date:       January 12, 2001

          Christos Christolow for the protester.
          Wilson J. Campbell, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency.
          John L. Formica, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General
          Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          Amendment to an invitation for bids for the inspection, maintenance and repair of
          fire protection systems was material, and a bid which failed to acknowledge the
          amendment was properly rejected as nonresponsive, where the amendment revised
          inaccurate information set forth in the bid schedule regarding the number and types
          of, and response times applicable to, service calls to be performed under the
          contract.
          DECISION

          Christolow Fire Protection Systems protests the rejection of its bid as nonresponsive
          under invitation for bids (IFB) No. N62472-00-B-4741, issued by the Department of
          the Navy, for the inspection, maintenance and repair of certain fire protection
          systems at the Naval Air Station, Brunswick, Maine.

          We deny the protest.

          The IFB, issued on August 14, 2000, contemplated the award of a fixed-price contract
          for a base period of I year with four 1-year options. The contractor will be required
          to provide all labor, materials, and equipment necessary to provide inspection,
          maintenance, repair, and alteration services for the Naval Air Station's fire protection
          systems, which include automatic sprinkler systems, as well as foam, gaseous, and
          dry and wet extinguishing systems.

          The bid schedule set forth contract line items for the base and each option
          year of the contract. Contract line item numbers (CLIN) 0001 (base period), 0003
          (first option), 0005 (second option), 0007 (third option), and 0009 (fourth option)
