WASHINGTON, D.C, Oti51 FILE: B-189409 DATE: MATTER OF: April 17, 1978 Armada, Inc. - Reconsideration DIGEST: A bid is not unresponsive for failing to physically include all of the bid package so long as the material pro- visions are incorporated by reference. The provisions to be incorporated need not be individually identified except in those circumstances where the bid creates doubt as to whether the bidder intends all of the provisions to apply. Browning-Ferris Industrieu of Virginia, Inc. (Browning-Ferris), the second low bidder unc'er General iervices Administration (GSA) solicitation 03C7071101 for trash removal services in the Arlington, Virginia, area, requests reconsideration of our decision in Armada, Inc., B-189409, February 27, 1978, 78-1 CPD 157. There we sustained the protest of the low bidder Armada, Inc. (ALmada). Armada had failed to relurn the entire solicitation package with its bid. Follow- ing a protest to GSA, the agency expressed its inten- tion to award the contract to Browning-Ferris. Armada protested to this Office. We held that the failure to return the entire package did not render Armada's bid nonresponsive, and that award should be made to it as low bidder, if otherwise proper, In its request for reconsideration, Browning-Ferris notes that the Armada submission omitted material por- tions of the IFB package (a provision authorizing the Gove'rnment to use another supplier in the event of disagreement on price and the Department of Labor pre- vailing wage determination) which were not specificaly referenced in the documents returned with Armada's bid. - 1- -iI - - - - -- - - -- - - - r - - - --- - - -- - - - & - - Aw- - - -
