Decision



Matter of: New Breed Leasing Corporation

File:        B-274201; B-274202

Date:        November 26, 1996

Matthew A. Simchak, Esq., Philip J. Davis, Esq., and Phillip H. Harrington, Esq.,
Wiley, Rein & Fielding, for the protester.
William E. Franczek, Esq., Vandeventer, Black, Meredith & Martin, an intervenor.
Dana N. Smith, Esq., and Anita D. Polen, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the
agency.
Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., and Paul Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

Protests are sustained where agency's failure to recognize and correct obvious flaws
in prior solicitations and contracts constituted lack of advance planning which
precluded meaningful competition for requirements and resulted in sole source
extensions of concededly flawed contracts with the incumbent contractor.
DECISION

New Breed Leasing Corporation protests the Department of the Navy's cancellation
of solicitation Nos. N00189-94-R-0304 and N00189-94-R-0315 (hereinafter R-0304
and R-0315) for material handling and logistics support services at various sites
throughout the world,1 and the sole source extensions of contract Nos. N-00189-94-
D-0003 and N-00189-94-D-0006 (hereinafter D-0003 and D-0006) for those
services. The solicitations were issued as small business set-asides; the incumbent
contractor, Management Consulting, Inc. (Mancon) is a large business, not eligible
to compete under the canceled solicitations. New Breed maintains there is no
rational basis for the cancellation of the solicitations or for the sole source
extensions of Mancon's contracts, and that the agency's actions resulted from a lack
of advance planning.





1Solicitation No. R-0304 covers services for sites in the eastern half of the United
States, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and the Caribbean. Solicitation No. R-0315
covers services for sites in the western half of the continental United States,
Hawaii, Guam, and Japan.
