This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Cox & Associates CPAs, PC File: B-287272.2; B-287272.3 Date: June 7, 2001 William E. Slade, Esq., T. Michael Guiffre, Esq., and Rodney A. Grandon, Esq., Patton Boggs, for the protester. James J. McCullough, Esq., and Steven A. Alerding, Esq., Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson, for Science Applications International Corporation, the intervenor. Capt. Stephen Edward See, John D. Inazu, Esq., and Gregory E. Petkoff, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Guy R. Pietrovito, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging an agency's corrective action in response to a General Accounting Office protest is denied where the corrective action--the cancellation of a defective request for quotations that sought competition among Federal Supply Schedule vendors for highly complex and costly services and the conduct of a new, full and open negotiated competition for the services--is not shown to be unreasonable. 2. General Accounting Office will not recommend that protester be reimbursed protest costs where the agency promptly took corrective action in response to a protest prior to the date for filing the agency report. DECISION Cox & Associates CPAs, PC protests the cancellation of request for quotations (RFQ) No. F01600-01-Q-6001, issued by the Department of the Air Force, soliciting competition among Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) vendors for the acquisition of budget information systems services. The Air Force's decision to cancel the RFQ was the result of corrective action taken in response to Cox's earlier protest (B-287272) objecting to the award of an order under the RFQ to Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) under that firm's FSS contract. Cox also requests that we recommend that Cox be reimbursed the costs of filing and pursuing that earlier protest.
