          Decision


          Matter of: Greenlee Construction, Inc.

          File:        B-294338

          Date:        October 26, 2004

          Gary Greenlee for the protester.
          Sandra Balmer, Esq., General Services Administration, for the agency.
          Paul N. Wengert, Esq., and Michael R. Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
          GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          Protest is sustained where agency had no basis to cancel solicitation because,
          notwithstanding the agency's claim that cancellation was justified because the
          solicitation allegedly indicated two different methodologies by which to determine
          the lowest-priced offer entitled to award, the agency was unable to articulate an
          example or methodology that would, while remaining consistent with the
          solicitation, establish that the protester's price was not the lowest price received.
          DECISION

          Greenlee Construction, Inc., a small business, protests the award of a contract to
          another offeror by the General Services Administration (GSA) under solicitation for
          offers (SFO) No. GS-04P-04-RBD-0015. Prior to filing the agency report, GSA
          announced that it intended to take corrective action by terminating the awarded
          contract and soliciting new offers. Greenlee then amended its protest to object to
          the cancellation, asserting that the agency lacked a basis to cancel the solicitation
          and arguing that it was entitled to the award because it had submitted the lowest-
          priced acceptable offer.

          We sustain the protest.

          The solicitation, issued on October 28, 2003 as a total small business set-aside,
          sought bids for two main elements: partition and asbestos within the Atlanta
