[Request for Reconsideration of Decision Concerning Improper Cancellation of Coast Guard Solicitation]

A firm requested reconsideration of a decision which recommended that the Coast Guard reinstate a cancelled solicitation and award a contract to the low bidder under that solicitation. In its request for reconsideration, the requester, a disappointed bidder under the original solicitation, contended that, since the awardee requested price increases after award, the basis for the award was invalidated. GAO held that: (1) the requester was essentially contending that the Coast Guard should terminate the awarded contract; (2) the matter was one of contract administration, which it would not consider; and (3) the requester did not allege any error of fact or law in the original decision that would warrant reconsideration. Accordingly, the request for reconsideration was dismissed.
