         The protester objected to the award of a subcontraft
for a Federal grv.,tee, alleging that.the awardee's bid van
nonresponsive. GAO will consider a complaint concerning the
award of a subcontract pursuant to a Federal grant where the
award is made by or for the grantee, but such complaints do not
have to comply with the timeliness tequirement of the Bid
Protest Procedures. The contested Lid constituted a definite and
unqualified offer to meet the terms of the solicitation and was
fully responsive. Although the specifications of the
solicitation were ambiguous, award may be made under the
solicitation since the needs of the procuring activity will be
met and substantial prejudice will not result to other bidders.
