    Mr. Crosby, Latvian Connection LLC asserts that the cancellation decision lacked credibility and was a "pretext" to avoid having to make award to Latvian Connection and to "avoid resolution of the protest." Cycad Corp., B-255870, Apr. 12, 1994, 94-1 CPD para. 253 at 5. When a procuring agency takes corrective action in response to a protest, the GAO may recommend reimbursement of protest costs if, based on the circumstances of the case, and it is clear that the agency unduly delayed taking corrective action in the face of a clearly meritorious protest. 4 C.F.R. sect. 21.8(e) (2009); AAR Aircraft Servs.--Costs, B-291670.6, May 12, 2003, 2003 CPD para. 100 at 6. A protest is clearly meritorious where a reasonable agency inquiry into the protest allegations would have shown facts disclosing the absence of a defensible legal position. Core Tech Int'l Corp.--Costs, B 400047.2, Mar. 11, 2009, 2009 CPD para. 59 at 6. The Agency could not defend the conduct of the contracting officer or her commander on solicitation W912D1-13-R-0003. Camp Arifjan Contracting Officer and it's contracting Commander, LTC Michael Scuteri, cancelled the solicitation as a pretext to avoid resolution of a protest.(197) 197/ Gonzales-McCaulley Inv. Group, Inc.,Comp. Gen. Dec. B-299936.2, 2007 CPD ¶ 192, 49 GC ¶ 451. That cancellation was made within 28 hours of the GAO's request for a Report from the Agency. LTC Colonel Scuteri acted in bad faith against Veteran Owned Business, Latvian Connection LLC for filing a protest about a solicitation, so poorly written, administered, and posted, that the only way the solicitation was going to be corrected after unresponsiveness of his contracting officers and Legal Team, was by the filing of a GAO Level Protest to illicit some professional contracting actions that resembled what is expected under the Federal Acquisition Regulations. This solicitation is an example of the level of Procurement Professionalism originating in 2013 from the 408th Contracting under the leadership of LTC Scuteri and BG Theodore C. Harrison’s that, unlike what BG Harrison states in http://www.army.mil/ecc/, The 408th located at Camp Arifjan, Kuwait are continuing to deliver substandard solicitations and this is just another in a series of unprofessional solicitations that are more designed to mislead, that to comply with FAR Part 5. However, with the continued biased assistance of the GAO, and attorneys like Mr. Crosby, Veteran Owned businesses like Latvian Connection LLC will be prejudiced and mislead by the ongoing contracting irregularities that was identified in both the Gansler report and a report on Camp Arifjan called the Fraud Triangle, by Army MAJ Amanda Flint in what is described as a case study into Procurement Integrity in Contingency Operations. This solicitation demonstrates that the fundamentals of conducting a simple solicitation still have not been achieved 4 years after the creation of the Army Contracting Command, even with that paid assistance of Contractor CACI working in the Camp Arifjan’s contracting office. On Pg 4 of the Congressional Hearing in 2011, Dr. Gansler stated: “ Writing requirements and issuing contracts, clearly these are inherently governmental functions; to acquire services is more difficult and requires high-quality, experienced government contracting and program-management personnel. “ Dr. Gansler also said “Investigation and conviction rates indicate that Army CCOs are involved in the commission of fraud by a significantly higher percentage in comparison to contracting officers in the other Services, despite being the minority of contracting personnel in theater (Gansler et al., 2007).

    Keven Barnes "chong.r.keys@kuwait.swa.army.mil" ; "chong.r.keys@kuwait.swa.army.mil.rpost.org" "Wilder, Charles J II CIV (US)" W912D1-13-T-0003 VIDEO WALL erroneous posting dates and 2012 dates on solicitaton and site visit that occurred before release Sunday, January 20, 2013 1:01:00 PM Exhibit 1 W912D1-13-T-0003.pdf Exhibit 2 20130115 USMCKuwait.pdf Exhibit 3 20130117 USMCKuwait.pdf Exhibit 4 20130116 USMCKuwait.pdf image002.png image005.png image007.png image008.png

    Ms. Chong, In the spirit of fairness to you, the contracting ocer, and your CACI contractors, I would ask that my application for base access be processed so I can attend the site visit for this Video Wall. I know that it takes 7 days for base access with ITT always blocking my access this may need a contracting ocer getting involved or telling the Provost Marshalls Oce that there is going to be an exception to the policy which they . I would like to be able to access to have a fair opportunity for micropurchases I dont believe I need a contract for that; to utilize the BX as a retired Veteran; and to be prepared for these site visits. Once again, the posting is erroneous on the dates for T-0003. It was not posted on 15 JAN as the lone solicitation shows in the website only on 17 JAN 2013. The solicitation has last years dates on it but the 408 th has conducted this Video Wall about as many times as the State Departments 7 SUVs so the dates not being updated is understandable not fathomable from wellpaid CACI personnel just understandable. I hope that the information will be corrected by the close of business tomorrow. I know that is possible because I have seen corrections before. I am sure there was no intent to have the site visit occur before the solicitation was released. I look forward to your response regarding W912-13-T-0003 ( Video Wall ) as Latvian Connection LLC would like to attend the site visit with a Teaming Partner FAR 9.601. This was originally ( 16 JAN 2013 ) called Podium and Supplies with the date of the original solicitation 09 NOV 2012 ( W912D1-13-T-0003 ) Posted 16 JAN 2013

    Posted 17 JAN 2013 but opens up to a solicitation that is not an R series, but a T series, and the same solicitation that was listed under Podium and Supplies.

    Today it looks like this and opens up to .

    Were all those documents that were listed on 16 JAN 2013 ( 4 PDFs) supposed to be part of the actual solicitation W912D1-T0003 ? Thank you, Keven L. Barnes CEO MSgt (USAF) Ret.
