C. 20549 FILE: 3B-191607 DATE: eeptenber 7, 17C MATTER OF:Patriot 01i, Inc. DIGEST: 1. Bidder did not submit with bid, as required, valid reference prices for each of its bid item prices with result that contracting activity had no basis for postaward price adjusth-ents to item prices based on market changes in reference prices. Thus, bidder had option of providing or noF; providing activity with correct reference prices after bid opening and, therefore, was in position of accepting or declining award. Bid was therefore properly found to be nonresponsive and not subject to correc- tion. Delay in making such decision does not affect validity of action taken. 2. Nonresponsive bid may not be accepted by contracting activity even if it is sole bid received. 3. Fact that price adjustment provision has been changed or revised for procurements made subsequent to protested procurement gives no basis for permitting award to bidder submitting nonresponsive bid on protested procurement because, even assum- irng for sake of argument, that changes show old provision was defective, proper course of action would he to cancel solicitation and resolicit with revised provision. 4. Question concerning rejection of protester's bid for certain items because of unreasonabl'h prices raised 4 months after initial protest is untimely and not for consideration.
