MATTER OF:       Coleman Industrial Construction
                    Company--Reconsideration
DIGEST:


  I.   Request for reconsideration of prior
       decision is denied where protester has
       not shown that its conclusion--that
       contracting officer properly permitted
       low bidder to correct a mistake-in-
       bid--resulted from an error of law or
       fact.

  2.  Where protester initially files timely
       protest and later supplements it with

  of whether the contracting officer properly permitted
  L. S. Womack, Inc., the low bidder, to correct a mis-
  take in its bid. We upheld the contracting officer's
  decision because we concluded that Womack had presented
  clear and convincing evidence showing that an error
  occurred, and its intended bid price.

       In its request for reconsideration, Coleman does
  not mention the mistake-in-bid issue which was the sub-

  that it has reason to believe that Womack is a large
  business concern and therefore was improperly awarded
  the contract under the solicitation, which was a total
