FAR 14.407-2 permits correction only after the bidder submits verification of the bid intended for clerical mistakes that are facially obvious, such as misplaced decimal points, obviously incorrect discounts, obvious mistakes in designation of unit, or similar typographical errors.See, e.g., Matter of H.A. Sack Co., Inc., B-278359 (1998) (Awardee permitted to correct spreadsheet error after bid submission.); Matter of Brazos Roofing, Inc., B-275319.2, 1997 WL 49033 (C.G.); William P. Rudland, Rationalizing the Bid Mistake Rules, 16 Pub. Cont. L.J. 446 (1987).

What type of verification could be used to support the correction of such mistakes?Does allowing such correction serve the policy of promoting a level playing field?
