FAR
14.201: Patent ambiguity -
bidders duty to inquire |
|
U.
S. Court of Federal Claims |
|
A patent ambiguity imposes the duty of inquiry on the bidder. See id. If the bidder does not clarify the patent ambiguity, it forfeits the right to rely upon its unilateral interpretation of the solicitation. See Dalton v. Cessna Aircraft Co., 98 F.3d 1298, 1306 (Fed. Cir. 1996). Nothing in the record in this case indicates that plaintiff satisfied its duty of inquiry. Therefore, it may not rely on its unilateral interpretation.
