Decision Matter of: Blue Rock Structures, Inc. File: B-400811 Date: January 23, 2009 Brent Hartness, Blue Rock Structures, Inc., for the protester. Isaac Johnson Jr., Esq., United States Coast Guard, for the agency. Linda C. Glass, Esq., and Ralph 0. White, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Procuring agency had a reasonable basis to cancel request for proposals for the design and construction of a Rescue Swimmer Training Facility where the solicitation no longer accurately reflects the agency's requirements and substantial changes to the scope of the project are necessary that may result in increased competition and a decrease in overall costs. DECISION Blue Rock Structures, Inc. of Pollocksville, North Carolina protests a decision by the Department of Homeland Security, United States Coast Guard to cancel request for proposals (RFP) No. HSCG47-07-R-3EFK21, for a two-phase design-build of a Rescue Swimmer Training Facility at the Coast Guard Support Center, Elizabeth City, North Carolina. We deny the protest. Phase I of the RFP was issued as a HUBZone set-aside on January 9, 2008 and required potential offerors to submit for agency review their past performance, basic technical approach, and performance capability information for the design and construction of projects similar in nature to a Rescue Swimmer Training Facility. Phase I RFP at 4. The Phase I RFP advised offerors that after review of this information, the agency would select three, but not more than five, of the highest rated offerors to participate in Phase II of the RFP. Id. at 4, 39.
