Contracting agency unreasonably determined that apparent low bidder on invitation for bids for the stabilization and removal of mine waste met the solicitation's definitive responsibility criterion requiring that the awardee have completed three similar projects, where the agency only considered the experience of what is apparently the low bidder's parent company, even though the record does not contain a commitment by the parent company to the low bidder's successful performance of the work.<p/> 2. Bid cannot be rejected as nonresponsive on the basis that the bid did not include completed standard representations and certifications or the bidder had not yet registered in the Central Contractor Registration. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-297219/html/GAOREPORTS-B-297219.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-297219/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-297219.pdf GAO/B-297219 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-297219 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-297219; B-297219, Charter Environmental, Inc., December 5, 2005;
