Here, contracting officer was not placed on actual or constructive notice of error since bid was clear and wide range of bid prices for used surplus property does not necessarily put contracting officer on notice of pos- sible error because of the many uses to which property may be put. Thus the contract may not be rescinded. The Department of the Air Force has requested a decision regarding the bid of Bimco Corporation (Bimco) for the sale of sur- plus Government property. Bimco's bid in question is for Lot 22 under invitation for bids No. 1993.
