C. 2 0548 FILE: B-195303 DATE: August 13, 1979 MATTER OF: T xas Turbo Jet, Inc. OfIGE fT: Where bidder seeks to withdraw its bid based upon alleged error and furnishes evidence to make prima facie case in support of error, i.e. substantially establishes error, for Government to make award it must virtually show that no error was made or that claim of error was not in good faith. Invitation for bids (IFB) No. 27-9095, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), offered for sale various Government surplus materiels. Texas Turbo Jet, Inc. (Texas Turbo) submitted a bid for a number of lots, including those designated Items 101 through 107. After bid opening, but before award,. Texas Turbo claimed mistake due to clerical error in its bid on Items 101- through 107. DLA has requested our decision as to whether Texas Turbo should be permitted to withdraw its bid on these items. We believe that Texas Turbo should be per- mitted to do so. Items 101 through 107 consist of various numbers (ranging from 10 to 33) of identical unused air filter screens intended for use in a Bell helicopter. Texas Turbo's bid for each such item indicated a unit price of $51.51, and a total price equal to this unit price correctly extended by the number of screens offered. On February 26, 1979, five days after bid opening, but before award, Texas Turbo called DLA to advise that it had made a clerical error, and had intended to bid $51.51 as the total price for each item, rather than as a unit price.
