          Matter  of:  Trade Links General Trading and Contracting, WLL

          File:        B-405182

          Date:        September 1, 2011

          Jason Mohiuddin, Trade Links General Trading and Contracting, WLL, for the
          protester.
          Amanda  M. Willis, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the agency.
          Cherie J. Owen, Esq., and Sharon L. Larkin, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
          GAO,  participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          Agency  properly cancelled solicitation where the agency could not determine that
          any of the offerors' proposed prices, which significantly exceeded the government
          estimate, were fair and reasonable.
          DECISION

          Trade Links General Trading and Contracting, WLL of Meshrif, Kuwait, protests the
          decision of the Department of the Air Force to cancel request for proposals (RFP)
          No. FA5703-1 1-R-0027 for mail porter services at Kuwait City International Airport.
          Trade Links contends that the cancellation was unreasonable.

          We  deny the protest.

          The Air Force issued RFP No. FA5703-11-R-0027 on May 4, 2011, seeking mail porter
          services at Kuwait City International Airport. As relevant here, the RFP stated that


          1 The protester proceeded with its protest pro se and therefore did not have an
          attorney who could obtain access to nonpublic information pursuant to the terms of
          a protective order. Accordingly, our discussion of the facts of this protest is
          necessarily general in nature to avoid reference to nonpublic information. Our
          conclusions, however, are based on our review of the entire record, including
          nonpublic information.
