Corrective Action, Terminating Award and Cancelling Solicitation, is Appropriate Where Contracting Officer Determines that the Procurement Approach is Flawed; COFC No. 17-559C, Novak Birch, Inc. v. United States

Protest of the agency’s corrective action terminating award and canceling the solicitation is denied, where the contracting officer determined that the procurement was flawed after only two offerors responded to solicitation, both offerors’ proposals were unacceptable, and any attempt to make another award under existing solicitation would likely result in additional bid protest litigation.
