DIGEST

1. Protest of agency's decision to cancel a solicitation is denied where the agency
contemporaneously documented four compelling rationales that support the
reasonableness of the cancellation.

2. Protest of agency's award of a sole-source contract awarded on the basis that the
awardee was the only responsible source is sustained where the agency failed to
meaningfully consider whether the protester was capable of performing the procured
services.
DECISION

Career Systems Development Corporation (CSD), of West Henrietta, New York,
protests the Department of Labor's (DOL) decision to cancel request for proposals
(RFP) No. DOLJ13PA20010, and to award contract No. 1630J2-18-C-0008 to
Management & Training Corporation (MTC), of Centerville, Utah, for the operation of the
Earle C. Clements Job Corps Center (JCC) in Morganfield, Kentucky. CSD challenges
the agency's decision to award MTC the contract on a sole-source basis, and objects to
DOL's decision to cancel the competitive solicitation for the services.


We deny the protest in part and sustain the protest in part.
