          File:        B-410790.2

          Date:     February 25, 2015

          Peter L. Cannon, for the protester.
          Capt. Ahsan M. Nasar and Scott N. Flesch, Esq., Department of the Army, for the
          agency.
          Frank Maguire, Esq., and David A. Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
          GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          Agency decision to cancel a solicitation after receipt of proposals was reasonable
          where the agency sought to increase competition, having determined that some
          solicitation requirements may have exceeded its needs and been too restrictive.
          DECISION

          Computers Universal, Inc. (CUI), protests the Department of the Army's cancellation
          of request for proposals (RFP) No. W9124D-14-R-0022, for quality assurance,
          server administration, application, and network support services for the U.S. Military
          Entrance Processing Command. The protester asserts that the cancellation lacked
          a rational basis.

          We deny the protest.

          BACKGROUND

          Acquisition Contract. RFP at 22.1 Award was to be made on a lowest-price,

          1 The agency advises that the estimated value of the task order to be awarded
