          DIGEST

          Agency did not have a reasonable basis for canceling solicitation where agency
          states that cancellation was necessitated by the agency's disclosure of source
          selection information, which the agency believed gave an unfair advantage to at
          least one offeror, and where the agency subsequently awarded a sole-source contract
          to a contracting team that included the same contractor to whom the source
          selection information was disclosed.
          DECISION

          Superlative Technologies, Inc. (SuperTec) protests the Department of Justice (DOJ),
          Office of Justice Programs' (OJP) cancellation of request for quotations (RFQ)
          No. 2007Q-025 for services to support the information security programs of OJP's
          Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO),' and the agency's subsequent sole-
          source acquisition of those services from a team comprised of Technical
          Management Resources, Inc. (TMR) and ManTech International Corporation
          (ManTech).

          We sustain the protest.




          1OJP is the primary grant-making bureau of the Department of Justice, and the OCIO
          is responsible for providing information security protection for OJP information.
