          Matter of: Brian X. Scott

          File:        B-310970; B-310970.2

          Date:        March 26, 2008

          Brian X. Scott for the protester.
          Capt. John J. Cho and Col. David P. Harney, Department of the Army, for the agency.
          Guy R. Pietrovito, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General
          Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          In a negotiated procurement, agency had a reasonable basis to cancel, after receipt
          of proposals, a solicitation for executive agent services, where the agency reasonably
          found that it would be more advantageous to satisfy its requirements through an
          existing contract.
          DECISION

          Brian X. Scott protests the cancellation of request for proposals (RFP)
          No. W91GDW-08-R-4006, issued by the Joint Contracting Command-Iraq/Afghanistan
          (JJC-I/A) for executive agent services for the Iraqi-Based Industrial Zone (I-BIZ)
          program. Mr. Scott complains that the cancellation of the RFP after receipt of
          proposals was unreasonable and was the result of bias against him.

          We deny the protest.

          The RFP provided for the award of a contract for an executive agent to oversee the
          I-BIZ program at the Victory Base Complex in Baghdad, Iraq, for a 6-month base
          period with five 6-month option periods. The I-BIZ program was established to
          implement the agency's Iraqi First program, under which multi-national forces
          were to use available Iraqi businesses, services and products, whenever possible.'
          RFP, Statement of Work (SOW),   2.0. It is the aim of the Iraqi First and I-BIZ

          1 The stated purpose for the Iraqi First program is to develop the Iraqi economy by
          increasing United States contracting with Iraqi businesses. See www.mnf-iraq.corn
