File: B-289342.4 Date: March 26, 2002 Jacob B. Pompan, Esq., and Gerald H. Werfel, Esq., Pompan, Murray & Werfel, for the protester. Francis E. Purcell, Jr., Esq., and Barbara S. Kinosky, Esq., Williams, Mullen, Clark & Dobbins, for Phoenix Group, Inc., an intervenor. Stephen R. Jones, Esq., Department of Labor, for the agency. Susan K. McAuliffe, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Cancellation of solicitation in negotiated procurement is not objectionable where agency's changed requirements, including changed evaluation scheme, provided a reasonable basis for the cancellation. DECISION Global Solutions Network, Inc. protests the cancellation of request for proposals (RFP) No. 3-JC-1 11-11, issued by the Department of Labor for Job Corps program services in the Washington, D.C. area. The protester contends that the cancellation lacks a reasonable basis; Global contends that the contracting officer instead should have amended the solicitation and requested revised proposals. We deny the protest. The Job Corps provides residential occupational training, education, counseling, career transitioning and other support services to young adults from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The RFP, a small business set-aside, contemplated the award of a contract for a 2-year base period with three 1-year options, for the operation of the Potomac Job Corps Center. The RFP also included a requirement for the development and operation of a National Development Center (NDC), a separate model center providing, among other things, Job Corps staff development training and internships, testing of new policy initiatives, development opportunities for potential small business center operators, and an informational visitors center.
