[Request for Reconsideration of Denial of Claim for Proposal Preparation and Protest Costs]

A firm requested reconsideration of its protest against the Army's termination of its contract for ship construction and transfer of the procurement to the Navy for resolicitation. GAO had denied: (1) the protest because the Army adequately justified the cancellation and transfer; and (2) the protester's claim for proposal and protest preparation costs because the cancellation was proper. In its request for reconsideration, the protester contended that GAO overlooked internal Army documents that showed that the Army's decision was arbitrary. GAO held that: (1) it did not overlook the documents, which merely pointed out dissension within the Army over the cancellation decision; and (2) the protester had demonstrated no error of fact, law, or omission that would warrant reconsideration. Accordingly, the request for reconsideration was denied.
