 FILE:    B-J 86195                 DATE:   November IT, 1976

 MATTER OF:
                    Action Manufacturing Company--Reconsideration
                    MBAssociates
 DIGEST:



 1.  Request for reconsideration is denied, since it
     does not show that prior decision was based
     on error of law or fact.

2    As result of GAO decision, protester became
     low bidder ard apparent low bidder became
     second low.  Subsequent protest by resultant
     second low bidder concerning responsiveness
     of resultant low bid, filed within 10 working
     days after receipt of referenced GAO decision,
     is timely since, until that decision, there was
     no reason to file such pro;.sst.

3.   IP  required prices on page 17 for items 0001AC
     and 0001AB, latter subject to first article
     approval, and unit and votal contract price if
     approval requirement were waived. Bidder inserted
     prices for both items on page 17 and insertel only
     reduced price on page 16 for item 0001AB. Bid is
     considered responsive, since IFB reasonably con-
     templated that only price for item subject to
     approval be reduced if requirement were waived,
     and total contract price with waiver can be
     derived by addition of item 0001AC price on
     page 17 and item 0001AB price on page 16.

4.   Considering as'responsive bid that failed to
     provide total contract price as required by
     IFB but included sufficient information to
     derive omitted price by application of
     generally accepted mathematical formula
     does not render IB ambiguous as applied.

     MBAssociates (MBA) requests that we reconsider our decision, Action
Manufacturing Company, B-186195, July 23, 1976, 76-2 CPD 73, in which we
sustained the protest of Actin Manufacturing Company (Action) against
the proposed award of a conttact to MBA by the United States Army
Armament Command under invitation for bids (IFB) No. DAAAO9-76-B-0012.
