Deficient Solicitation Made Cancellation Proper

The protester contended that a solicitation should not have been cancelled and that it should have received the award and alleged that the low bidder under the readvertised solicitation was not responsible. The original solicitation was deficient concerning the appropriate small business size standard, so cancellation and resolicitation were proper. The contracting officer's determination that the low bidder on the resolicitation was not responsible rendered the protest moot.
