          DIGEST

          Protest challenging an agency's corrective action decision to terminate an order
          issued to another firm and recompete its remaining requirements under relaxed
          specifications is denied, where the agency reasonably determined that the
          solicitation materially overstated the agency's requirements and that recompeting
          under specifications that reflected its actual needs would lead to enhanced
          competition.
          DECISION

          Alaska Structures, Inc. (ASI), of Anchorage, Alaska, protests the corrective action
          taken by the Department of the Army, Army Materiel Command under request for
          quotations (RFQ) No. 443359 with respect to an order for shelters and related items
          issued to California Industrial Facilities Resources, Inc. (doing business as CAMSS
          Shelters (CAMSS)) under that firm's General Service Administration's (GSA) Federal
          Supply Schedule (FSS) contract. In response to ASI's earlier protest, the agency
          terminated the order issued to CAMSS and will recompete the items that had not yet
          been delivered. ASI contends that the agency should order the remaining items from
          ASI.


We deny the protest.
