Kenneth Kilgour, Esq., and David A. Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging cancellation of a solicitation is denied where the agency reasonably concluded that the solicitation did not accurately reflect its needs. 2. Protest of agency's sole-source extension of incumbent contractor's order, for continued operations and maintenance support services for a 6-month period while agency resolicits on the basis of requirements accurately reflecting its needs, is denied where the agency reasonably concluded that only the incumbent contractor could meet the agency's immediate need for these services without a break in service. DECISION Lockheed Martin Corporation, of Bethesda, Maryland, protests the cancellation of request for quotations (RFQ) No. HSBP1 012Q71262, issued by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), for operations and maintenance (O&M) support services for two computer software applications. Lockheed Martin also protests the issuance of a sole-source extension of the incumbent contractor's (IBM Corporation) task order. The protester asserts that both decisions lack a reasonable basis.
