Highlights
A company claimed proposal preparation costs and anticipated profits following the partial cancellation of a solicitation. Since the lowest bid exceeded guidelines, the cancellation was reasonable. Anticipated profits are not recoverable in any instance, and there was no justification for the payment of proposal preparation costs. The contracting officer's refusal to consider a late offer of a lower price was proper.
