handle is hein.gao/gaocrptajex0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: Safety Storage, Inc. File: B-280851.2 Date: May 13, 1999 Sam Gdanski, Esq., Jeffrey I. Gdanski, Esq., and Scott Howard Gdanski, Esq., for the protester. Michael Trovarelli, Esq., Defense Logistics Agency, for the agency. Aldo A. Benejam, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency has a reasonable basis for canceling solicitation where it no longer has a need for the requirement. DECISION Safety Storage, Inc. (SSI) protests the decision of the Defense Industrial Supply Center (DISC) to cancel request for proposals (RFP) No. SPO-500-98-R-0999 for mobile reuse centers (MRC) for ship and land-based operations for the control and storage of hazardous materials. We deny the protest. The Defense Supply Center, Columbus, Ohio (DSC-OH), initially synopsized the solicitation in the Commerce Business Daily (CBD) on September 3, 1997, as an unrestricted procurement. Subsequently, in a November 5 CBD notice, the agency announced that the solicitation was canceled and that a new solicitation would be issued by DISC, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (DISC-PA). DISC-PA synopsized the procurement in the CBD on January 23, 1998, and issued the RFP on April 17, on an unrestricted basis. The RFP contemplated the award of an indefinite-quantity, indefinite-delivery requirements contract for a 1-year base period with up to four 1-year option periods. RFP at 105. On August 21, SSI filed a protest with our Office challenging the agency's decision not to set aside the procurement for small businesses. We sustained SSI's protest based on our conclusion that the contracting officer's (CO) determination not to set aside the procurement was based on incomplete information, unsupported assertions
