      The paper is written in the language of the theory of Hermitian forms on additive categories as introduced by \textit{H. G. Quebbemann, W. Scharlau} and \textit{M. Schulte} [J. Algebra 59, 264-289 (1979; Zbl 0412.18016)]. The author is concerned with unimodular bilinear forms and pairs of unimodular bilinear forms over the ring of integers in a local non-dyadic field. The classification problem is reduced to a corresponding problem on Hermitian forms over the category of `double isomorphisms'. By an application of transfer and reduction techniques the author gets some insight into the original problem. Explicit examples of matrices and pairs of matrices congruent over the field of 3-adic numbers and incongruent over the ring of 3-adic integers are given.
