              MATTER OF;     The Rfl, Pines Corporation--Reconsideration

              DIGEST:

                    Prior decision holding that bid was not
                    ambiguous is afftirmed, Even though bid
                    stated that amounh of duty to be deducted
                    from prices was approximate, since
                    amount of duty was Qarried out to four
                    decimal places (to the ten-thousandth
                    part of a dollar), bid was sufficiently
                    definite and suscepxtb.tle to evaluation.
                    The romainder of the request for recon-
                    sideration is merely a restatement of
                    arguments made in original protest and
                    not evidence of any factual or legal
                    errors in the prior decision,
                    The R.Ho Pineo Corporation (J1ines) requests
               reconsideration of our decision in The R.Hl. Pines
               Corporation, B-205080, April 16, 19 82, 82-1 CPD   ,
               in which we denied its protest. Pines had protested
               that the bid submitted by Glazer Steel Corporation
               (Glazer) in response to solicitation No. DLA500-81-
               B-2679, Issued by the Defense Industrihl Supply
               Center (DISC), was ambiguous regarding the price
               of certain items of hot rolled, carbon steel plate.

                   In the prior decision, we recognized that Glazer
               had incorzectly completed the bid form. Glazer had
               listed duty-exempt countries as the sources for its
               steel products in response to clause K-10 of the
               solicitation* Clause L-61 of the so.icitation directed
               bidders not to include any amount for import duty In
               their prices where duty-exempt countries were listed
               as sources for steel products offered, In add1tion,
               clause K-38 of the solicitation stated that bid prices
               did not include duty if duty-exempt countries were
               listed as sources for steel products, and Glazer took
               no exception to this clause in its bid. In spite of
