C. 20548 FILE: B-193053 MATTER OF: DATE: February 9, 1979 Scott-Griffin, Incorporated DIGEST: I 1. Failure to acknowledge material amendment to IFB which was received and acknowledged by only other bidder justifies rejection of bid even though protester claims it was never received since procuring activity is not insurer of delivery of bidding documents to prospective bidders so long as agency has complied with applicable regulations. 2. Bid which failed to acknowledge IFB amendment, which increased cost of performance by estimated $24,340, is nonresponsive since failure to acknowl edge amendment was material deviation and there is no indication that there was deliberate or conscious effort on part of agency to exclude bidder from competition. 3. Possibility that Government might realize monetary savings in particular procurement if material deficiency is corrected or waived is outweighed by importance of maintaining in- tegrity of competitive bidding system. Scott-Grl3?~ Incorporated (Scott-Griffin), L protests any award to Mt. Lebanon Enterprises, Inc. (Mt.
