Protest that the agency deprived potential competitor of an opportunity to compete because the procurement was misclassified in the Commerce Business Daily is denied where the record shows that the agency reasonably classified the contemplated contract action, mailed copies of the solicitation to 14 sources, and obtained competition and reasonable prices.<p/>2. Protester's apparent nonreceipt of solicitation provides no basis to sustain protest where agency did not violate applicable regulations governing advertisement and dissemination of the solicitation or deliberately attempt to exclude protester from the competition; rather, the protester failed to take reasonable measures to obtain a copy of the solicitation even though it did receive a copy of solicitation amendment. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-289381/html/GAOREPORTS-B-289381.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-289381/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-289381.pdf GAO/B-289381 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-289381 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-289381; Kendall Healthcare Products Company, B-289381, February 19, 2002;
