          Decision


          Matter of: Paraclete Contracts

          File:        B-299883

          Date:        September 11, 2007

          Jerry Hughen, Paraclete Contracts, for the protester.
          Richard Martinelli, Esq., Naval Inventory Control Point, for the agency.
          Eric M. Ransom, John L. Formica, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., participated in
          the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          1. Protester's offer for anti-contamination gloves was properly rejected where the
          protester mistakenly entered its prices on a total price rather than per-pair basis and
          the protester's intended price was not apparent from the face of the offer.

          2. Agency properly found the awardee's proposed prices to be fair and reasonable
          where the prices were lower than prices obtained by the agency over the past several
          years.
          DECISION

          Paraclete Contracts protests the award of a contract to ISA Corporation under
          solicitation No. N00104-07-Q-BZ53, issued by the Naval Inventory Control Point
          (NAVICP) for anti-contamination gloves. Paraclete asserts that NAVICP improperly
          rejected its offer due to an erroneous interpretation of its proposed price. Paraclete
          also asserts that ISA's price was unreasonably high and its offer should not have
          been selected for the award.

          We deny the protest.

          BACKGROUND

          On March 13, 2007, NAVICP posted the solicitation on the Navy Electronic
          Commerce On-line (NECO) website,' requesting offers for 433,265 pairs of various
