handle is hein.gao/gaobaczil0001 and id is 1 raw text is: I G A 0Comptroller General A- Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States General Accounting Office DOCUMENT 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. Decision Matter of: Satellite Services, Inc. File: B-288848.3 Date: April 28, 2003 Rand L. Allen, Esq., William S. Lieth, Esq., and Janet L. Eichers, Esq., Wiley Rein & Fielding, for the protester. Vera Meza, Esq., and Beth Biez, Esq., U.S. Army Materiel Command, for the agency. Tania Calhoun, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency's decision to cancel solicitation used to obtain and evaluate private-sector proposals in conducting an Office of Management and Budget Circular A-76 cost comparison, after selection of a private-sector offeror, two cost comparisons, and two General Accounting Office protests, is denied where agency reasonably based its decision on the cumulative impact of uncertainty generated by pending agency management decisions with the potential to substantially affect the solicitation's workload, workload changes that occurred before and after a recent agency reorganization, and the uncertainty associated with the full impact of that reorganization. DECISION Satellite Services, Inc. (SSI) protests the Department of the Army's decision to cancel request for proposals (RFP) No. DAAHO3-99-R-0027, issued in conjunction with a commercial activities study pursuant to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-76; to revise the agency's requirements; and to issue a new solicitation based upon those revised requirements for the provision of multi- function services to the Redstone Arsenal in Alabama. SSI, which prevailed in the private-sector competition and has twice challenged the Army's tentative decision to retain in-house performance of the work, argues that the cancellation decision lacks a reasonable basis. We deny the protest.
