Johnson, Federal Contract Specialists, Inc., for the protester. COL Nicholas P. Retson and CPT David J. Goetz, Department of the Army, for the agency. John L. Formica, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency properly canceled a solicitation for lodging and transportation after bid opening where the bid prices were reasonably determined to be unreasonably high because they were well more than twice the prices paid under the predecessor contract and the independent government estimate, and where the protester's bid price was itself considerably higher than the price purportedly established by the protester as reasonable based upon its own market survey. DECISION Quality Inn & Suites Conference Center protests the cancellation of invitation for bids (IFB) No. DABT57-99-B-0002, issued by the Department of the Army, for lodging and transportation for the School of Cadet Command, Fort Monroe, Virginia. We deny the protest. The IFB required that the contractor provide accommodations located within 5 miles of Fort Monroe. The solicitation also required that the contractor provide transpo rtatio n to and fro m c ertain lo c al airports, bus and train stations and the accommodations upon the arrival and departure of the students attending the school, as well as daily transportation between the accommodations and Fort Monroe. Agency Report, Tab 3, IFB, section C, Performance Work Statement, at 5-7.
