           DIGEST

           Protest challenging an agency's decision to cancel a task order solicitation is denied
           where the level of effort required in the solicitation had to be cut by 43 percent
           because of significant funding reductions.
           DECISION

           Business Computer Applications, Inc. (BCA), of Atlanta, Georgia, protests the
           cancellation of request for task order proposals (RFTOP) No. 2011 -IM-0005, issued

           provide staffing support until an award is made under a revised solicitation for these
           services.

           We deny the protest.
