Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States ....................................................................................................................... DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to Decision a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: Synchrogenix Information Strategies, LLC File: B-414068.4 Date: September 8, 2017 David S. Cohen, Esq., Laurel A. Hockey, Esq., Daniel Strouse, Esq., and John J. O'Brien, Esq., Cohen Mohr LLP, for the protester. Christine Simpson, Esq., Department of Health and Human Services; John W. Klein, Esq., and Meagan K. Guerzon, Esq., Small Business Administration, for the agencies. Peter D. Verchinski, Esq., and Amy B. Pereira, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest asserting that an agency is required to cancel a solicitation set aside for small businesses is denied where the protester does not show that the agency's failure to cancel the solicitation violates any law or regulation. DECISION Synchrogenix Information Strategies, LLC, of Wilmington, Delaware, protests the terms of request for proposals (RFP) No. 16-223-SOL-00073, issued by the Department of Health and Human Services, Food and Drug Administration (FDA), as a small business set-aside for software licenses, maintenance and support, and other activities associated with implementing the Electronic Common Technical Document (eCTD) validation and review software. Synchrogenix primarily alleges that the agency should cancel the solicitation because, while the procurement was being conducted, the protester's size status changed from small to other than small, such that the agency no longer has a reasonable expectation of receiving offers from two small business concerns. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND The FDA issued the RFP on July 1, 2016, as a combined synopsis/solicitation under the commercial item provisions of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 12.6. The RFP seeks to award a fixed-priced contract for a base year and four 1-year option
