          Matter  of:  Lasmer Industries, Inc.

          File:        B-400866.2, B-400916.2, B-401046

          Date:        March 30, 2009

          Michael F. Copley, Esq., Kenley S. Maddux, Esq., Douglas M. Beard, Esq., and
          Mark E. Landers, Esq., The Copley Law Firm, LLC, for the protester.
          Michael L. Walters, Esq., and Matthew 0. Geary, Esq., Defense Logistics Agency, for
          the agency.
          Nora K. Adkins, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General
          Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          1. Agency's cancellation of solicitations for parts was reasonable where the agency
          discovered that obtaining one of the parts under an existing contract would be more
          advantageous to the government than continuing with the procurement and that it no
          longer had a requirement for the other part solicited.

          3. Agency's issuance of a delivery order for parts was within the scope of the
          underlying contract and could have been reasonably anticipated by offerors, in light
          of the fact that the ordered part was specifically included in the contract, and the
          contract allowed the agency to order the part under a negotiated delivery schedule.
          DECISION

          Lasmer Industries, Inc. of Kerrville, Texas, protests the Defense Logistics Agency,
          Defense Supply Center, Columbus' (DSCC)  cancellation of two solicitations--
          (1) request for proposal (RFP) No. SMP7L2-08-R-0 176 for vehicular seats, national
          stock number 2540-01-436-4175 (NSN 4175); and (2) request for quotations (RFQ)
          No. SPM7L2-08-Q-0 159 for vehicular seats, NSN 2540-01-381-8392 (NSN 8392).
          Lasmer also protests that DSCC's issuance of delivery order 0001 for the vehicular
          seats that were the subject of the canceled solicitations under DSCC's Fleet
          Automotive Support Initiative--Global (FASI-G) contract No. SPM7LX-08-D-9021, was
          outside the scope of that contract.


We  deny the protests.
