I I It >~ :1; 1 A I I I' I '4 ~h' 1 DIG E ST; 19 Nbtwithstanding complainant's view that grantor agency, by remapding matter to grantee for further considerationr afforded grantee a second opportunity to think up a reason to reject its bid, seleoLion was for grantee to make as con- tracting party. Grantor's role was limited to assuring that grantee complied with federal requirements in expending grant fundE.- 2. Federal norm does not preclude rejection of bid which contains incomplete list of equip- ment offered and which does not fully explain model numbers of equipment listed. In di 'zect federal procurement, bid would be considered nonresponsive. 3. Complainant has not shown that grantee eval- uated bids unfairly by overlooking serious defects affecting responsiveness of awardee's bid where contentJon is unsupported by the record. 4. Fact that lw priced nonresponsive bid is re- ceived does not establish that 16 percent more costly, responsive bid is unreasonably expensive. s oreover, record doeu not show that grantee abused its discretion in deter- mining that awardee's bid price was reason- able. *,~ *~' -.
