File: B-413576.2; B-413875; B-413875.2 Date: December 22, 2016 Leigh Brand, for the protester. Autumn V. Lovato, Esq., and Thomas J. Warren, Esq., Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers, for the agency. Nora K. Adkins, Esq., and Noah B. Bleicher, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging an agency's cancellation of a solicitation is denied where the record demonstrates that the agency reasonably determined that the solicitation did not clearly reflect its needs. 2. Protest challenging the terms of a solicitation is dismissed where the protest was filed subsequent to the deadline for the submission of quotations. DECISION Government and Military Certification Systems, Inc. (GMCS), a woman-owned small business located in Washington, D.C., protests the cancellation of request for quotations (RFQ) No. W9127N-16-Q-0046 and the terms of RFQ No. W9127N-16- Q-0077, which were issued by the Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers Portland District, for a surveillance audit of the district's Engineering and Construction Division. GMCS contends that the agency improperly cancelled RFQ-0046 and that the terms of RFQ-0077 are unduly restrictive of competition. We deny the protest in part and dismiss the protest in part. BACKGROUND The Corps' Engineering and Construction Division plans, designs, and constructs projects and manages programs in support of the district's civil works mission.
