Lapse in Appropriations

Please note that a lapse in appropriations has caused GAO to shut down its operations. Therefore, GAO will not be able to publish reports or otherwise update this website until GAO resumes operations. In addition, the vast majority of GAO personnel are not permitted to work. Consequently, calls or emails to agency personnel may not be returned until GAO resumes operations. For details on how the bid protest process will be handled during the shutdown, please see the legal decisions page. For information related to the GAO Personnel Appeals Board (PAB), please see the PAB webpage.

Request for Correction of Mistake in Bid

B-183717 Jun 02, 1975
Jump To:

Highlights

The contractor requested permission to correct its bid price due to an alleged error made in computing the bid. Correction of the mistake in bid, alleged after contract award, was not permitted since the contracting officer was not on actual or constructive notice of the alleged mistake prior to award. The bid was only about 9 percent less than the next low bid, and there was close proximity in the range of all bids.
