File: B-275477 Date: February 24, 1997 Ronald J. Shaw, Esq., for the protester. Joan K Fiorino, Esq., and Donald E. Barnhill, Esq., East & Barnhill, for Port Enterprises, Inc., an intervenor. Maj. Michael J. O'Farrell, Jr., and Col. Nicholas P. Retson, Department of the Army, for the agency. Tania L. Calhoun, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST In a solicitation for a requirements contract, the agency reasonably rejected the apparent low bid as materially unbalanced where the bid included nominal prices for numerous line items and enhanced prices for other line items, and where uncertainty concerning the reliability of the solicitation's estimated quantities gave rise to a reasonable doubt that the unbalanced bid would actually represent the lowest price to the government. DECISION Alice Roofing & Sheet Metal Works, Inc. protests as improper the rejection of its bid as mathematically and materially unbalanced under invitation for bids (IFB) No. DADA18-96-D-0021, issued by the Department of the Army for roofing repair and replacement. We deny the protest. The Army issued this solicitation on August 8, 1996, to furnish all plant, labor, equipment, and materials necessary to repair and replace roofing on miscellanous- type buildings at Fort Sam Houston, Camp Bullis, and Army Reserve Centers in San Antonio, Texas. The bidder whose bid was most advantageous to the government, considering only price, would be awarded a fixed-price requirements contract for 1 base year and 1 option year. Section B of the solicitation listed 105 contract line items (CLIN) for each contract period, along with the agency's estimated quantities for each item. Bidders were to supply a unit and extended price for each CLIN and a total price for each contract period. Each bidder's overall price would be 758131
