THE  COMPTROLLER GENERAL
OF   THE UNITED STATES
WASHINGTON.  D.C. 20548




       DATE:  July 6, 1976


MATTER OF: Noland Company, National Accounts


DIGEST:

     Contractor's claim for rescission or reformation
     of contract due to alleged mistakes in bid is
     denied where bids received showed normal upward
     progression from low to high bid and did not
   * provide contracting officer with constructive
     no'tice of alleged mistakes. Further, contractor's
     assertion that since it is not stocking or ware-
     housing dealer it does not realize certain
     cost savings, is not dispositive since record does
     not indicate that contracting officer knew or should
     have known of contractor's status in this regard,
     or that other bidders were not in similar status.


     Invitation for bids (IFB) DSA700-75-B-2636 was issued on
June 6, 1975, by the Defense Supply Agency (DSA). The IFB
contained contract line item numbers (CLIN's) for varying quantities
and types of steel pipe. Bids were received from six bidders with
the Noland Company, National Accounts (Noland), the low bidder on
CLIN's 0001-0004 and 0006-0007. Ohio Pipe Valves & Fittings,
Inc. (Ohio), was the low bidder on CLIN 0005. Bids received
were as follows (evaluated pursuant to discount and multiple award
evaluation provisions of the IFB):
