OF THE UNITEO STATES W ASH4INGT 1ON. 0. .C. 2 0 548 FILE: DATE: July 2, 1985 MATTER OF: Computer Resource Technology Corporation DIGEST: 1. Claim for bid preparation costs based on allegation that agency was aware prior to issuing the solicitation that required serv- ices could be performed only by one firm and that agency put claimant to needless expense in preparing its proposal is denied where claimant has not shown that the agency acted in bad faith in issuing the solicitation. 2. Recovery of the costs of filing and pursu- ing a protest may be allowed where the agency has unreasonably excluded a protester from the procurement. where, however, an agency's determination to cancel a solicita- tion is not found unreasonable, the pro- tester has not been improperly excluded from the competition and no basis exists for the recovery of such costs. Computer Resource Technology Corporation (CRTC) requests reimbursement of its proposal preparation expenses under request for quotations (RFQ) No. N60530- 85-i-N311 issued by the Department of the Navy for the development of a contract tracking system. The RFQ was canceled and a sole-source award for the requirement was subsequently made to Digital Sciences Corporation (D6C).

CRTC contends that the Navy was aware, prior to issuing the RFQ, that a sole-source award would be made and that CRTC should be reimbursed the needless cost expended in preparing its quotation. In addition, CRTC requests that it be allowed to recover the cost of filiny and pursuing its protest. ()3 4 a
