FILU:     B-207607,2           DATE: September 27, 1982

MATTER OF: See Clear Maintenance Corp.--
               Reconsideration

DIGEST:

      Prior decision is affirmed on recon-
      sideration since the protester has not
      shown that it was based on an error of
      law or fact.

      See Clear Maintenance Corp. requests that we
 reconsider our denial of the firm's protest against
 the General Services Adninistration's proposed award
 of a contract to Custodial Guidance Systems, Inc. for
 janitorial and elevator operator services. See Clear
 Maintenance Corp., 1-207 07, August 23, 1982, 82-2 CPD
 .1_she Ior protesit was that See Clear, the
 second low bidder, should be pernitted to correct its
 bid and thereby displace CLuslodial Guidance Systems.
 We denied the protest because the bid actually
 intended was not ascertainable substantially from the
 bid itself.  See Federal Procurement Regulations
 § 1-2.406-3(aT l)(1964 ed.).

      We affirm our decision.

      The solicitation invited monthly prices for an
 initial six.-month period and for a six-month option
 period.  Award was to be based on the low total
 extended bid for both periods, as computed by the con-
 trar:ting officer--extended prices were not solicited.
 See Clear bid a monthly price for each six-month
 period, and inserted in the space above the two
 entries what purported to be the six-month extended
 prices.  The base period extended price that See Clear
 inserted, however, was less than six times the monthly
 price entered. See Clear claimed that the extended
 price it inserted was the six-month price it actually
 intended, and requested that the monthly price it bid
 be adjusted downward to one-sixth of the extension.
