handle is hein.gao/gaocrptaduz0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: LDDS WorldCom File: B-266257; B-266258 Date: February 8, 1996 J. Randolph MacPherson, Esq., Sullivan & Worcester, for the protester. Francis J. O'Toole, Esq., Robert J. Conlan, Jr., Esq., Joseph C. Port, Jr., Esq., and Michael L. Shore, Esq., Sidley & Austin; and Nathaniel Friends, Esq., and Steven W. DeGeorge, Esq., AT&T Corporation, for AT&T Corporation, an interested party. Carl Wayne Smith, Esq., and H. Jack Shearer, Esq., Defense Information Systems Agency, for the agency. Ralph 0. White, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Same issues and arguments as those resolved in a recent decision involving the same agency and the same procurement will not be considered as no useful purpose would be served. 2. Protest alleging that agency cancellation of solicitations prior to receipt of responses from offerors was improper is denied where the record shows that the cancellation decision was reasonable; there is no evidence that the agency issued the solicitations without intending to award contracts; and the regulatory requirement for a written determination supporting the cancellations, cited by the protester, does not apply because the solicitations were canceled before receipt of responses. 3. Contention that the agency improperly modified an existing contract beyond its scope instead of holding a separate competitive procurement is denied where a review of the contract terms shows that the added services could have been anticipated from the face of the contract itself, and where the added services are not materially different from the services currently procured under the contract. DECISION LDDS WorldCom protests the cancellation of solicitation Nos. RG20JUL951511 and RG20JUL951512 by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), and the agency's corresponding decision to obtain these services from AT&T via the Defense Commercial Telecommunications Network (DCTN) Contract. LDDS contends that the agency is improperly consolidating services onto AT&T's DCTN 110227
