           Robert W. Schlattman, Esq., General Services Administration, for the agency.

           DIGEST

           Protest that agency improperly canceled a solicitation for the lease of space to house
           an Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services training center is denied where the
           decision to cancel was reasonably based on agency concerns that the integrity of the
           procurement process had been undermined  by mistakes made by agency
           procurement officials during the procurement process.
           DECISION

           WorldLink Aviation, LLC, of Cedar City, Utah, protests the cancellation of
           solicitation for offers (SFO) No. 7UT2170 by the U.S. General Services

           Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services (APHIS) training center at the airport in
           Cedar City, Utah. WorldLink contends that the agency lacked a reasonable basis to
           cancel the solicitation.

           We deny the protest.
