B.

Notice —The existence of and the actual amendments shall be made available to all procurement participants specifically in a manner designed to ensure that all diligent procurement participants and the general public will have notice of the existence of the amendments in the same manner that notification of the sealed bidding procurement opportunity was originally made.
