           DIGEST

           1. 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.

           2. Protests of the terms of a solicitation generally must be filed prior to the time set
           for receipt of proposals.
           DECISION

           Estrategy Inc., of North Kansas City, Missouri, protests the decision by the
           Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to cancel request for proposals (RFP) No. VA-
           255-12-R-0205 and resolicit for transportation services for the 26' Annual National
           Veterans Golden Age Games (NVGAG). The protester contends that the agency
           lacked a reasonable basis for canceling the solicitation.

           We deny the protest in part and dismiss it in part.

           On December 28, 2011, the VA issued VA-255-12-R-0205, as a service-disabled
           veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) set-aside seeking proposals to provide
           transportation services for the 26' Annual NVGAG, which are scheduled to take
           place in St. Louis, Missouri from May 30, 2012 to June 6, 2012.' Prior to issuing the


           ' The NVGAG is the premier senior adaptive rehabilitation program in the United
           States, and is the only national multi-event sports and recreational seniors'
                                                                             (continued...)
