Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States Decision Matter of: Virtual Medical Group, LLC File: B-418386 Date: March 25, 2020 Matthew P. Banks for the protester. Tyler W. Brown, Esq., Department of Veterans Affairs, for the agency. Raymond Richards, Esq., and Laura Eyester, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging an agency's corrective action is denied where, after an agency-level protest, the record reflects that the agency identified flaws in the evaluation and solicitation that warranted cancelling the solicitation and issuing a revised solicitation. DECISION Virtual Medical Group, LLC (Virtual), a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) of Alexandria, Virginia, protests the cancellation of request for quotations (RFQ) No. 36C24519Q0425, issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for medical transcription services for the Beckley VA Medical Center. Virtual contends that the cancellation of the solicitation was unreasonable. We deny the protest. The VA issued the RFQ on July 3, 2019, as a set-aside for SDVOSBs, under the simplified acquisition procedures of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) part 13. Agency Report (AR), Tab 1, RFQ, at 1; id., Tab 2, Contracting Officer's Statement (COS) at 2. The agency sought quotations for medical transcription services for digital dictation, traditional medical transcription and correction editing services. RFQ at 4. The RFQ was publicized on the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) website, which, at the time, was designated as the single, governmentwide point of entry (GPE).1 COS 1 At the time of this posting, FBO was designated as the single, governmentwide point of entry. See FAR § 2.101. We note that the single, governmentwide point of entry has since migrated to https://beta.sam.gov.
