DIGEST

Protest of agency's decision to cancel solicitation following GAO's decision sustaining a
prior protest is denied where the record demonstrates that the agency's decision was
reasonable.
DECISION

CEdge Software Consultants, LLC (CEdge), a small business of Creve Coeur, Missouri,
protests the cancellation of request for quotations (RFQ) No. HTC711-19-Q-D005,
issued by the United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) for enterprise
information technology (IT) services support for the military surface deployment and
distribution command (SDDC).1 The protester contends that the agency's decision to
cancel the RFQ lacks a reasonable basis and was a pretext to avoid having to
reevaluate quotations and issue the task order to CEdge after our Office sustained its
prior protest. CEdge Software Consultants, LLC, B-418128.2 et al., Mar. 19, 2020,
2020 CPD    127.




1 The Department of the Air Force is defending the protest on behalf of USTRANSCOM,
one of eleven unified combatant commands within the Department of Defense (DOD).
See 10 U.S.C. §§ 161-168. The mission of USTRANSCOM is to provide air, land, and
sea transportation for the DOD, both in peace and wartime.
