Matter Of: Autoclave Engineers, Inc.

Abstract

Contractor's allegation of unilateral mistake in offer does not provide basis for contract adjustment since contracting agency personnel adequately discharged their verification duty by calling to offeror's attention fact that its offeror after award red price appeared to be unreasonably low and offeror thereafter verified its offer. In negotiated procurement, contracting officer, who reasonably had no suspicion of specific mistake in an offer but requests verification advising offeror that its offer is "unreasonably low," adequately discharges verification duty in view of restrictions on disclosure of information during the preaward period.
