         File:        B-403556.2

         Date:        December  7, 2010


         Michael A. Hordell, Esq., Stanley R. Soya, Esq., and Heather Kilgore Weiner, Esq.,
         Pepper Hamilton LLP, for the protester.
         Vera Meza, Esq., and John Dowling, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency.

         DIGEST

         An agency reasonably canceled a solicitation where the solicitation failed to identify
         all significant evaluation factors and their relative importance.
         DECISION

         Greentree Transportation Company,  Inc., of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, protests the
         cancellation of solicitation No. 4NXX100776F-SMM by the Department of the Army,
         Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command, for freight transportation
         services.

         We  deny the protest.

         The Army  issued the solicitation on behalf of Hanscom Air Force Base (AFB) for the
         movement  of various kinds of freight from the Air Force Research Laboratory at
         Hanscom  AFB  in Massachusetts to Kirtland AFB in New Mexico and to Wright-
         Patterson AFB in Ohio.! Agency Report (AR), Tab A, Statement of Transportation

         1 Greentree also alleged that the Army improperly disclosed Greentree's proprietary
         information, but withdrew this protest ground after our Office conducted an
         alternative dispute resolution conference with the parties.

         'The Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command  acts as a liaison
         between  government shippers and commercial  carriers, and is responsible for the
         establishment and maintenance of contracts, solicitations, and agreements with the
                                                                            (continued...)
