Magnell, Esq., and Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging the agency's decision to cancel a solicitation is denied where the agency's decision to move the procurement in-house had a reasonable basis. 2. Protest is dismissed where the agency's cancellation of the solicitation and decision to perform the requirement with government employees renders academic multiple organizational conflicts of interest. DECISION Inalab Consulting, Inc., of Stafford, Virginia, protests the terms of request for quotations (RFQ) No. D16PS00382, which was issued by the Department of the Interior (DOI) to obtain software migration services between products of Oracle Corporation, on the basis that the agency failed to address organizational conflicts of interest. Inalab and Solutions by Design II, LLC (SBD), of Vienna, Virginia, also protest the agency's subsequent cancellation of the RFQ during the pendency of the protest, alleging that the cancellation was simply a pretext to avoid the resolution of its protest and, furthermore, lacked a reasonable basis. We deny the protests in part and dismiss the protests in part.
