File: B-290107 Date: June 11, 2002 Jacob B. Pompan, Esq., and Gerald H. Werfel, Esq., Pompan, Murray & Werfel, for the protester. Stephen R. Jones, Esq., Department of Labor, for the agency. Susan K. McAuliffe, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest of agency's cancellation of request for proposals prior to receipt of proposals is denied where cancellation was reasonable in light of agency's need for additional review of its requirements relating to size standard and set-aside considerations. 2. Protest of agency's sole-source award to incumbent contractor, for continued operation of residential educational and training center for a 1-year period while agency completes review of its requirements and ongoing rulemaking process related to size standard and set-aside considerations, is denied where agency reasonably determined that, due to considerable transition period required for a change of contractors, only one responsible firm, the incumbent contractor, was available to meet agency's immediate need for the services during the limited time period. DECISION Global Solutions Network, Inc. protests the cancellation of request for proposals (RFP) No. 3-JC-212-11, issued by the Department of Labor for Job Corps program services in the Washington, D.C. area. Global also challenges the agency's sole- source award to the incumbent contractor for continuation of the services while the agency conducts additional review of its needs regarding size standard and set-aside terms, including related rulemaking efforts. We deny the protest.
