Matter of: XTec, Inc. File: B-410778.3 Date: October 1,2015 David S. Cohen, Esq., John J. O'Brien, Esq., and Gabriel E. Kennon, Esq., Cohen Mohr LLP, for the protester. Richard J. Conway, Esq., Michael J. Slattery, Esq., and Christian N. Curran, Esq., Dickstein Shapiro LLP, for HP Enterprise Services, LLC, an intervenor. Christine L. Krell, Esq., and Adam C. Supple, Esq., General Services Administration, for the agency. Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging agency's cancellation of solicitation is denied where record shows that the agency reasonably concluded that the solicitation failed to contain adequately detailed information regarding various contract performance requirements. 2. Protest is sustained for agency's lack of adequate and reasonable advance planning where, despite knowing of and documenting the need for detailed solicitation requirements nearly 4 years prior to cancellation, the agency issued the solicitation containing only high level requirements and conducted the procurement, then cancelled the solicitation because it failed to include sufficiently detailed requirements. DECISION XTec, Inc., of Reston, Virginia, protests the General Services Administration's (GSA) cancellation of request for quotations (RFQ) No. 858797 for products and services related to personal identification verification (PIV) for government employees and contractors, as required by Homeland Security Presidential Directive No. 12 (HSPD-12). XTec also protests the GSA's extension of a sole-source task order previously awarded to HP Enterprise Services, LLC (HPES) to provide the products and services contemplated by the cancelled solicitation.
