1. Nonreceipt of solicitation amendment provides no basis to sustain protest where agency followed established procedures for disseminating amendments. <p/>2. Protest of agency's addition to awardee's contract of the authorization and consent clause at Federal Acquisition Regulation sec. 52.227-1, allowing contractors to manufacture or use in performing the contract inventions covered by a United States patent, is denied where the protester does not allege that its quotation would have been different had the clause been included in the solicitation and accordingly there is no basis for finding that the protester was competitively prejudiced. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-275423/html/GAOREPORTS-B-275423.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-275423/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-275423.pdf GAO/B-275423 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-275423 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-275423; The Ensign-Bickford Company; Title 28 Section 1498(a) 28 U.S.C. 1498(a)
