Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 Decision Matter of: Southwest Research Institute File: B-299042.2 Date: March 23, 2007 Philip J. Davis, Esq., and William J. Colwell, Jr., Esq., and Jon W. Burd, Esq., Wiley Rein, LLP, for the protester. Brent Curtis, Esq., Lt. Col. Kenneth Roth, and Thomas A. Biediger, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Jacqueline Maeder, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Cancellation of request for quotations (RFQ) was unobjectionable where agency reasonably determined that evaluation scheme did not reflect its needs, and that revising scheme would lead to enhanced competition. DECISION Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) protests the Department of the Air Force's decision to cancel request for quotations (RFQ) No. 174958, for boom operator/trainer simulation systems, and resolicit the requirement. SwRI argues that its proposal met all RFQ requirements, and that it should be issued a purchase order. We deny the protest. The RFQ was issued on September 19, 2006 to General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contract holders for software for the installation, integration, and testing of three boom operator weapons systems trainers, one boom operator simulation system, and one Distributed Missions trainer, all to be used in training personnel to operate the refueling boom on the KC-135 aircraft.' 1 The FSS program, which is managed and directed by GSA, is a simplified process of obtaining commercial supplies and services at prices associated with volume buying. Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) § 8.402(a).
