Unsigt , Stats Gn ADOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Washington, DC 20548 The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. D e c is io n ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------. Matter of: American Systems Corporation File: B-412501.2; B-412501.3 Date: March 18, 2016 Joseph G. Billings, Esq., and Katherine B. Burrows, Esq., Miles & Stockbridge P.C., for the protester. Kara M. Sacilotto, Esq., Rand L. Allen, Esq., Tracye W. Howard, Esq., Brian G. Walsh, Esq., and George E. Petel, Esq., Wiley Rein LLP, for Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., an intervenor. Laura J. Biddle, Esq., and Theresa A. Chestnut, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Evan D. Wesser, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest of an agency's corrective action, which includes termination of a task order and resolicitation of the government's requirements, is denied where the agency's corrective action is appropriate to remedy flaws identified with the underlying solicitation. 2. Protest that an agency improperly awarded a short-term, sole-source contract is denied where the record shows that the agency had a reasonable basis for its decision to restrict the procurement to the only source it viewed as able to meet the agency's requirement to ensure uninterrupted services. DECISION American Systems Corporation (ASC), of Chantilly, Virginia, protests the corrective action being taken in connection with request for proposals (RFP) No. N00024-15- R-3064, which was issued by the Department of the Navy, Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command, for professional support services. ASC argues that the corrective action taken in response to a protest challenging the agency's previous issuance of a task order to ASC, including terminating the order for the government's convenience, cancelling the RFP, and resoliciting the requirements, is overly broad and unreasonable. Additionally, ASC challenges the award, on a sole-source basis, of contract No. N00039-16-C-0051 to Booz Allen Hamilton Inc.
