handle is hein.gao/gaocrptaodh0001 and id is 1 raw text is: G A 0 Comptroller General Accountability * Integrity* Reliability of the United States United States General Accounting Office Washington, DC 20548 Decision Matter of: IT Corporation File: B-289517.3 Date: July 10, 2002 Richard L. Moorhouse, Esq., and Dorn C. McGrath III, Esq., ReedSmith, for the protester. Clare A. Kersten, Esq., and Robert E. Little, Jr., Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Henry J.

DECISION IT Corporation protests the decision by the Department of the Navy, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, to cancel request for proposals (RFP) No. N68711-99-R-6670, which sought proposals to provide base operation support services at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California. Alternatively, the protester requests reimbursement of its proposal preparation costs. We deny the protest and claim for costs. The Navy issued the RFP on October 12, 2000 in conjunction with commercial activities studies pursuant to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-76. The RFP contemplated the award of a fixed-price/indefinite-quantity contract for a base period of I year with 4 option years and 2 award-term years. The RFP
