Where revised bid includes reduced item quantities set forth-exclusively in amendment, even though revised item specification is not also included, bid serves as constructive acknowledge- ment of amendment; failure of bidder to acknowledge receipt of amendment in form prescribed in solicitation should be waived as minor informality as provided in Defense Acquisition Regulation S 2-405(iv)(A). 2. Bidder's failure to insert amended item specification in revised bid in-place of original specification preprinted on bid form, constitutes neither express qualification of bid nor ambiguity as to specification upon which bid-was based since constructive acknowledgement bound bidder to meet new specification and thus rendered old specification legal nullity. 3. GAO will not consider protester's complaint that agency should have issued stop work order '-'instead of terminating protester's contract for convenience of Government while other party's protest was pending at GAO where agency correctly determined that other party was entitled to award and that award to protester was improper; protester was therefore not prejudiced by termination. Ridgeway Electronics, Inc. (Ridgeway) protests the termination for convenience of its 'contract to supply quantities of radiac sets to Kelly Air Force Base, Texas, Department of the Air Force, and the proposed award of a contract for that requirement to Nuclear Research Corporation (NRC) under invitation for bids (IFB) No. F41608-80-B-0048.
