Decision

File:       B-418803

Date:       August 10, 2020

Fred Fielding for the protester.
Ashley M. Kelly, Esq., and Stephen T. Davis, Esq., Defense Logistics Agency, for the
agency.
April Y. Shields, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,
participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

Protest challenging an agency's cancellation of a solicitation after a prior successful
agency-level protest is denied where the agency demonstrates a reasonable basis for
its decision to cancel.
DECISION

Chase Defense Partners,' of Hampton, Virginia, protests the cancellation of request for
quotations (RFQ) No. SPE4A6-20-T-4618, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency for
electrical special purpose cable assemblies. The protester, which had previously filed a
successful agency-level protest challenging the agency's issuance of a purchase order
under the RFQ, challenges the agency's decision to cancel the RFQ. The protester
argues that the agency should instead be required to reevaluate the quotations and
issue a purchase order to the protester.2

We deny the protest.


1 Chase's protest was submitted on behalf of Chase Supply, Inc., doing business as
Chase Defense Partners. See also Agency Report (AR), exh. B, Quotation from Chase
Supply, Inc., Nov. 4, 2019, at 2-3.
2 This protest is not subject to a GAO protective order because Chase opted to file its
protest without an attorney. Accordingly, our discussion of some aspects of the record
is necessarily general in order to limit references to non-public information.
Nonetheless, GAO reviewed the entire record in preparing this decision.
