[Protest Concerning Nonreceipt of Amendment to FAA IFB]

A firm protested that it did not receive an amendment to a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) solicitation and was therefore precluded from competing. GAO held that: (1) FAA records indicated that all bidders, including the protester, a copy of the amendment, and it received four reasonable bids which acknowledged the amendment; and (2) there was nothing in the record which showed an intent to exclude the protester from competition. Accordingly, the protest was denied.
