          Decision


          Matter of: Wilcox Industries Corporation

          File:       B-287392

          Date:       April 12, 2001


          Robert F. Guarasi for the protester.
          Joshua Kranzberg, Esq. U.S. Army Materiel Command, for the agency.
          Aldo A. Benejam, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
          GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          Allegation that the agency improperly failed to publicize solicitation or award in the
          Commerce Business Daily (CBD) is denied where the record clearly shows that the
          acquisition was synopsized in the CBD Online (CBDNet) and in the printed version
          of the CBD on two separate occassions, including a notice announcing a change to
          the solicitation number; the notices advised that the solicitation and related
          documents could be downloaded from the agency's Internet home page; and the
          notices provided a link to that site, along with the contracting officer's e-mail
          address and telephone number, and the protester failed to fulfill its obligation to
          avail itself of every reasonable opportunity to obtain the solicitation.
          DECISION

          Wilcox Industries Corporation protests the award of a contract to Insight
          Technology, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. DAAB07-01-R-N201 (N201),
          issued by the U.S. Army Communications-Electronic Command (CECOM) for
          AN/PAQ-4C aiming lights. Wilcox argues that CECOM improperly failed to publicize
          the solicitation or the award in the Commerce Business Daily (CBD).


We deny the protest.
