Where bid form provided spaces for unit prices, extended prices and a total price and award on basis of total price was permitted, bid settina forth price for nonrecurring c~stnov tended prices for quantities L ;:siientally funded clearly reflected intent such nonrecur- ring costs should be added to extended price for first quantity funded. As extended price was readily ascertainable from bid and total price was low, accept- ance of bid as responsive was proper. 2. Protest issues based upon improprieties apparent on face of the IFB will not be considered because protest was not filed before te bid opening date as required by Bid Protest Procedures. Although untimely issues are not of such importance to the competitive procurement process as to war- rant consideration under the significant issue exception, allegation of Anti- Deficiency Act violation merits comment. 3. Contract using funds without fiscal year limitation and providing for purchase of additional items only if funds become available in future and agency, after determination that it is in interest of Government to do so, allots such funds to contract does not violate the Anti- Deficiency Act where contractor is not required by contract or otherwise to per- form in advance of allotment of such funds.
