This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: East West, Inc. File: B-412719.2; B-412719.3; B-412719.4 Date: June 21, 2016 Lawrence J. Sklute, Esq., Sklute & Associates, for the protester. Anson Obayuwana, Esq., Department of Health and Human Services, for the agency. Elizabeth Witwer, Esq., and Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protester that does not have a Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contract is not an interested party to challenge the agency's decision to cancel a solicitation that limited competition to FSS vendors. 2. Protest of an agency's corrective action is denied where the record shows the agency acted promptly to implement its proposed corrective action. 3. Protest of an agency's decision to resolicit its requirement is dismissed as premature where the record shows the agency has not made a final decision regarding its needs and has not yet issued a new solicitation. DECISION East West, Inc., of Falls Church, Virginia, a small business, protests the cancellation of request for quotations (RFQ) No. 1062534, issued by the Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health (NIH), through the General Services Administration's (GSA) e-Buy system for janitorial services. The protester alleges that the agency has acted in bad faith in cancelling the RFQ and in implementing the corrective action it proposed in connection with the RFQ. East West also alleges that the agency continues to wrongfully procure the requirement through the GSA e-Buy system. We deny the protest in part and dismiss it in part.
