Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Washington, DC 20548 The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Global Solutions Network, Inc. File: B-299424 Date: April 20, 2007 Gerald H. Werfel, Esq., Pompan, Murray & Werfel, PLC, for the protester. David T. Copenhaver, Esq., and Mary C. Schaffer, Esq., Bureau of the Public Debt, Department of the Treasury, for the agency. Peter D. Verchinski, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.

DECISION Global Solutions Network, Inc. protests the cancellation of request for proposals (RFP) No. BPD-06-R-0015, issued by the Department of the Treasury, Bureau of the Public Debt (BPD), for administrative and clerical support services. Global asserts that the cancellation lacked a rational basis. We deny the protest. The Bureau of the Public Debt awards and administers contracts on behalf of Treasury's FedSource branch offices, which operate as part of the agency's franchise fund. The franchise fund primarily provides contracting services (including administrative and financial services) to federal agencies on a reimbursable basis. The RFP, issued on May 30, 2006, contemplated multiple awards of indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts for a base period, with 5 option periods, for support services to be provided under FedSource's Administrative/ Clerical and Light Industrial business line. Work under the RFP was to be obtained through task orders that would specify the task, location, service to be provided, period of performance, and performance measures. RFP at 2. Global timely submitted a proposal by the July 21 closing time. According to the contracting officer, as proposals were being evaluated in October, a working group was established within the agency to consider FedSource's future. Contracting
