handle is hein.gao/gaobadokh0001 and id is 1 raw text is: G A 0 Comptroller General LAccountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 Decision Matter of: National Defense Advisors, Inc. File: B-405741 Date: December 13, 2011 Mark T. Johnson, for the protester. Max D. Houtz, Esq., Maj. Brent Cotton, and LTC John Maher, Defense Intelligence Agency, for the agency. Noah B. Bleicher, Esq., and Sharon L. Larkin, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency had a reasonable basis to cancel solicitation where solicitation did not reflect agency's needs and amending the solicitation resulted in a change so substantial that it exceeded what reasonable offerors could have anticipated. DECISION National Defense Advisors, Inc. (NDA), of Fairfax Station, Virginia, protests the decision of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) to cancel request for proposals (RFP) No. HHM402-1 1-R-0235 for an adjunct instructor at DIA's National Defense Intelligence College. NDA also objects to the agency's issuance of a task order to Booz Allen Hamilton, Inc. (BAH), of McLean, Virginia, to fulfill the requirement. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND On August 18, 2011, the DIA published the solicitation at issue as a total small business set-aside seeking proposals for an adjunct instructor to teach up to six graduate-level classes per academic year and to advise at least five thesis students per year at the National Defense Intelligence College. Solicitation Synopsis at 1. The RFP contemplated the award of a fixed-price, level-of-effort contract with a 1-year base period and four 1-year options. RFP at 2. The RFP included a statement of work (SOW) that indicated that the subject matter of instruction was Intelligence Budget and Congressional Relationships. SOW at 1-2. As amended, the RFP required that proposals be submitted by 1:00 p.m. on September 7. RFP at 1.
