handle is hein.gao/gaobaebgj0001 and id is 1 raw text is: GAOU.S. GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE 441 G St. N.W. Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. No party requested redactions; D ecision .we are therefore releasing the decision in its entirety. Matter of: BryMak & Associates, Inc. File: B-418491.2 Date: June 16, 2020 John C. Dulske, Esq., Joanne Zimolzak, Esq., Bonnie Kirkland, Esq., and Ryan Sullivan, Esq., Dykema Gossett PLLC, for the protester. Howard A. Smith, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Paul N. Wengert, Esq., and Tania Calhoun, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that agency improperly canceled solicitation as corrective action in response to another offeror's protest is denied where the record shows the agency reasonably determined that a restrictive term in the solicitation may have limited competition and that cancellation was appropriate corrective action. DECISION BryMak & Associates, Inc., of Clarksville, Tennessee, a small business, protests the termination of its contract, and the cancellation of request for proposals (RFP) No. N40085-19-R-9134, issued by the Department of the Navy, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, for facility investment services at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, Oak Grove, and other outlying fields, in North Carolina.1 BryMak argues that the Navy lacked a valid basis to terminate its contract, cancel the RFP, and issue a new solicitation. We deny the protest. 1 We identify BryMak as a small business based on its representation, but express no view on its small business size status because challenges to a business's small business size status are outside the scope of our bid protest jurisdiction. Bid Protest Regulations, 4 C.F.R. § 21.5(b)(1). A protest challenging BryMak's status as a small business was dismissed by the Small Business Administration after the Navy announced the corrective action at issue in this protest. Protest at 4.
