' s We refer to letter dated October 16, 1973, with enolovreu, from
the Acting General Counsel1 reccwcend relief for Xa-flWell awelope
Capany, Portlund, Oregon, for an error sale in the bid ujon which
Purchase Order 8&A9 i based,
The solicitation upon uwhich the cotract in based inyited bids
Cor the supplying of ko4o00 (plus or ainiw one percent) vindow
envelopes with gum flap for an A Force reqi4re it. On Septt.
bar 128 1973, four bids were opened in total amounts as foliows;

,67600
2,79640
3,960.00o
Thefla revuis that in the case of U bids received, except
that ot fM1-walel, the toba] amounts bid represented the product of
the quoted unit price per thousand multiplied by the number of
thousaAds z equirod. Howover, an ex ition of the quotation of Hajim
Wefl solosed that a similar ecaputation produoed a total of
462f:0 (410.53 x bouOo), a opposed to its extended price of
Oc the record, there is no doubt that MalWell's bid cotained
a clerlog4 error, obvious oh the face of the bid, in stating an ex-
tended total price vhieh wae loan than the correct product of tht
unit price ud the quantity bid. Thereforef it may be ooneluded that
the contracting officer was on notice of possible error in the bid of
MAA-Wefl. Accordil and since bid verification wa not requested
srtor to wvard, the contract oay be rescinded as reccmended,
Sineerel yours,
