Matter of:   Alliance Technology Group, LLC

File:        B-418558

Date:        June 16, 2020

Thomas K. David, Esq., Kenneth D. Brody, Esq., and Katherine A. David, Esq., David,
Brody & Dondershine, LLP, for the protester.
Anthony J. Balestreri, Esq., and Dan C. McIntosh, Esq., Defense Information System
Agency, for the agency.
Raymond Richards, Esq., Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., and Laura Eyester, Esq., Office of
the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

1. GAO has jurisdiction to review a protest challenging an agency's cancellation of a
solicitation for a task order valued above the statutory dollar threshold for resolving bid
protests, even where the subsequently-issued solicitation falls below the threshold for
GAO's task order jurisdiction.

2. Protest challenging an agency's cancellation of a solicitation as a pretext to avoid
resolving a prior protest is denied where the agency demonstrates a reasonable basis
for its decision to cancel.
DECISION

Alliance Technology Group, LLC (Alliance) of Hanover, Maryland, protests the
cancellation of request for quotations (RFQ) No. HC1 08594841 (original RFQ) by the
Defense Information System Agency (DISA) for brand name or equal Endace
equipment and support necessary to meet the solicitation's Full Packet Capture
requirements. The protester challenges the agency's failure to implement the corrective
action proposed in a prior protest and argues that the cancellation of the original RFQ
and subsequent issuance of a new RFQ is a pretext to avoid resolving its prior protest.


We deny the protest.
