Highlights

A decision was requested as to whether an alleged mistake in bid could be corrected after contract award. The contractor claimed its bid was mistakenly based upon purchase of improper equipment, but an increase in the contract price to correct the error was not allowed since the contracting officer was not on notice of a possible error prior to award. The Government's post-award approval of erroneous drawings may be relevant to a claim for equitable adjustment under one of the contract's provisions but did not bear upon the question of whether the bid was accepted with actual or constructive notice of error.
