handle is hein.gao/gaobadbac0001 and id is 1 raw text is: JiL AL A , GA O Comptroller General Acc untabiity * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 D .. Decision Matter of: Aleut Facilities Support Services, LLC File: B-401925 Date: October 13, 2009 Robert S. Gardner, Esq., for the protester. Gary R. Allen, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Sharon L. Larkin, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST GAO will generally not review agency's decision to cancel a solicitation to perform the work in-house because decision whether to perform work in-house is generally a matter of executive branch policy. DECISION Aleut Facilities Support Services, LLC of Aurora, Colorado protests the Department of the Air Force's decision to cancel solicitation No. FA3002-09-R-0010 for supply, fuels, and transportation services for Tyndall Air Force Base. We dismiss the protest. The Air Force canceled the solicitation after receiving proposals, but before opening and evaluating them, to perform the work in-house. The agency made this decision after comparing the expected total cost of contract performance by a contractor (without evaluating the proposals under the RFP) with the total cost of performance in-house using the COMPARE software program, and determining that a cost savings could be realized by in-sourcing the work. Agency Dismissal Request, Declaration of Chief, Strategic Sourcing Branch, Manpower and Organization Division, Headquarters Air Education and Training, Department of Air Force (Sept. 17, 2009), at 1. The protester asserts that the cancellation was not reasonable because the procurement is not one that should be granted priority consideration for in-sourcing under Pub. L. No. 110-181, Div. A, Title III, § 324(a)(1), 122 Stat. 60 (2008) (appearing at 10 U.S.C.A. § 2463 (2009 Supp.)), and because the agency did not conduct a proper economic analysis. Protest at 3-4.
