Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency's decision to terminate contracts and cancel underlying solicitations was reasonable where it determined that solicitations did not set forth reasonably accurate estimates, which are essential for offerors to prepare reasonable, intelligent offers. DECISION Platinum Services, Inc., of Parry Hall, Maryland, protests the termination of its contracts and the cancellation of request for proposals (RFP) Nos. W91QV1-10-R- 0003 (RFP R-0003) and W91QV1-10-R-0005 (RFP R-0005), issued by the Department of the Army for inbound, outbound, and local shipment and/or storage of household and other goods for Army personnel. We deny the protest. On or about December 10, 2009, the Army issued multiple solicitations, including the RFP's here, for inbound, outbound, and local shipment of household and other goods for service members in the Washington, D.C. area.' Agency Report (AR) at 2. The solicitations contemplated the award of fixed-price requirements contracts for a 'Solicitations R-0003 and R-0005 and the amendments issued to these solicitations are essentially identical. Subsequent citations will generally refer to only RFP R-0003.
