Kenneth Kilgour, Esq., and Laura Eyester, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protests challenging agency's cancellation of solicitation following corrective action in response to a protest is denied where the record shows that the agency reasonably concluded that the agency could perform the requirement in-house. DECISION ANAMAR Environmental Consulting, Inc., of Gainesville, Florida, protests the cancellation of request for proposals (RFP) No. W912EP-1 5-R-0006 issued by the Department of the Army, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), for sampling, testing, and analysis of marine sediments. The protester asserts that the agency has no reasonable basis to cancel the RFP, that the cancellation is a pretext to avoid resolving the protest that preceded the cancellation, and that the agency is precluded by law from performing the work in-house. We deny the protests. BACKGROUND The Corps issued the solicitation on January 27, 2015, for the award of a single fixed-price, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (ID/IQ) contract, with a 12-month base period and four 12-month options, to the offeror whose proposal represented the best value to the government. RFP at 1, 3-7, 11, 194. The primary objective of the solicitation is the performance of sampling, testing, and analysis in compliance
