Highlights
Bidder on contract for automobiles was rejected as nonresponsive. Bid included optional automotive equipment Government did not need. Vendor may properly exceed Government requirements, except where, as here, this inclusion made cars exceed statutory price ceiling; agency cannot procure items with unnecessary features because vendors find it difficult to realize a profit from specified item.
