File: B-294186 Date: August 17, 2004 Larry J. Bradford for the protester. Joshua Kranzberg, Esq., U.S. Army Materiel Command, for the agency. Scott H. Riback, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging cancellation of a request for proposals is denied where record shows that, due to a significant reduction in agency's requirement for the solicited items, as well as the fact that agency was able to meet its requirements under another, preexisting contract, it no longer has a need for the items. DECISION CAT Flight Services, Inc. protests the cancellation of request for proposals (RFP) No. DAAH01-03-R-0316, issued by the Department of the Army for a quantity of ballistic aerial target systems (BATS).' We deny the protest. The solicitation sought proposals to furnish a first-article quantity of 10 BATS, and subsequent production quantities ranging from 1 to 700 BATS, during each of 4 option years, and from 1 to 2,000 BATS during a fifth option year. The Army received several initial proposals, established a competitive range that included the protester, engaged in discussions with the competitive range firms, and sought final proposal revisions (FPR). After receiving the FPRs, the agency requested that the offerors extend their proposal acceptance period for 30 days. Prior to the expiration 'The BATS is an expendable, unguided rocket powered target used to train defensive air gunnery personnel that are assigned to the Army's short range air defense (SHORAD) battalions.
