This redacted version has Decisionben fr rla. been approved for public _..v_..e_..d_..........o_..rlc release. Matter of: Raytheon Company File: B-410719.10; B-410719.11 Date: November 15, 2016 Kara L. Daniels, Esq., Mark D. Colley, Esq., and Stuart W. Turner, Esq., Arnold & Porter LLP, for the protester. Lt. Col. Kevin P. Stiens, Esq., and Erika Whelan Rhetta, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Stephanie B. Magnell, Esq., and Amy B. Pereira, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest is denied where the agency's decision to amend, rather than cancel, the solicitation was not improper where there was no prejudice to the protester and, under the facts of this procurement, cancellation would not have increased competition. 2. Protest is denied where the agency allowed sufficient time after amendment of the solicitation for revision of proposals. DECISION Raytheon Company, of Tewksbury, Massachusetts, protests the terms of an amendment to request for proposals (RFP) No. FA8730-13-R-0001, which was issued by the Department of the Air Force in order to acquire three-dimensional, expeditionary, long-range radar (3DELRR) modules. The protester contends that the amendment is so substantial that, under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, the agency was required to cancel the solicitation. Raytheon also asserts that the amendment fails to address the underlying structural problem in the solicitation and that the agency improperly used offerors' cost data in restructuring the procurement. Finally, the protester alleges that offerors were not allowed sufficient time to revise their proposals following changes made to the solicitation in a subsequent amendment. We deny the protest.
