handle is hein.gao/gaobadsfg0001 and id is 1 raw text is: G A O Comptroller General Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 Decision Matter of: TTCC, Inc. File: B-412874 Date: May 17, 2016 Daniel J. Cragg, Esq., Eckland & Blando LLP, for the protester. Col. Matthew J. Mulbarger, Lt. Col. Damund E. Williams, and Capt. Christopher J. Elliott, Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Paul N. Wengert, Esq., and Tania Calhoun, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that agency improperly rejected protester's proposal for airfield grounds maintenance services is denied where proposal failed to acknowledge amendment to request for proposals that provided new information that would affect offeror's performance. DECISION TTCC, Inc., doing business as Tried & True Corporate Cleaning, of La Mesa, California, a small business, protests the rejection of its proposal by the Department of the Air Force under request for proposals (RFP) No. FA4625-16-R-0002 for airfield grounds maintenance services at Whiteman Air Force Base (AFB), Missouri. TTCC argues that although the firm mistakenly failed to acknowledge an amendment' in its proposal, the amendment was not material, and thus the Air Force acted improperly in rejecting TTCC's proposal. We deny the protest. 1 In its protest, TTCC refers to the amendment at issue as amendment 3 (as the amendment was numbered when issued). The Air Force has explained that the numbering was incorrect because the second, third, and fourth amendments were unnumbered, making amendment 3 actually the sixth amendment. In the interest of consistency in this decision, we have adopted the original numbering, so we refer to the amendment at issue as amendment 3.
