Evidence of compliance with zoning laws relates to ability of successful offeror to perform, rather than whether offer is acceptable and, therefore, is a matter of responsibility.<p/> 2. A definitive responsibility criterion is established where solicitation requires specific zoning so that requirement itself is an aspect of contract work; thus, general requirement for zoning approval does not constitute definitive responsibility criterion.<p/> 3. Allegation that contracting officer improperly made affirmative determination of responsibility does not raise serious concern that contracting officer failed to consider available relevant information where record shows, contrary to the protesters' assertions, that contracting officer did not ignore or disregard any available relevant information in making his responsibility determination. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-295911/html/GAOREPORTS-B-295911.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-295911/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-295911.pdf GAO/B-295911 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-295911 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-295911; B-295911; B-295911.2, Public Facility Consortium I, LLC; JDL Castle Corporation, May 4, 2005;
