handle is hein.gao/gaolnk0001 and id is 1 raw text is: GAO U.S. GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE 441 G St. N.W. Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States Decision Matter of: Vinsys Information Technology, Inc. File: B-418892 Date: September 28, 2020 Sreedhar Chanamolu, Vinsys Information Technology, Inc., for the protester. Jose Otero, Esq., Department of Labor, for the agency. Heather Self, Esq., and Peter Tran, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging cancellation of request for quotations is denied because the agency had a reasonable basis for the cancellation. 2. Protest challenging resolicitation, on an unrestricted basis, as improper is dismissed because the resolicitation is in connection with the proposed issuance of a task order that fails to meet the dollar threshold for our Office's task order jurisdiction. DECISION Vinsys Information Technology, Inc., a small disadvantaged business of Reston, Virginia, protests the cancellation of request for quotations (RFQ) No. 1605TB-20-Q- 00005 and subsequent resolicitation under RFQ No. 1605TB-20-Q-00031, issued by the Department of Labor (DOL) for information technology (IT) maintenance and support services. The protester argues that the agency's decision to cancel the initial RFQ and resolicit under another acquisition vehicle, rather than make award to the protester, was unreasonable. We deny the protest in part and dismiss it in part.
