SUBJECT: Cancellation of Request for Proposals (RFP) W912DS25RA007 for United States Military Academy Bartlett Hall 4th Floor Conversion, Courtyard Wall, and Roof Repair Project Location: USMA at West Point, NY

1. PURPOSE: To document the Contracting Officer's decision and rationale for cancelling the subject competitive construction solicitation due to a lack of available funds, in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS).

2. BACKGROUND:

a. RFP W912DS25RA007 was issued on 17 July 2025 under the procedures of FAR Part 15 (Contracting by Negotiation) and FAR Part 36 / DFARS Part 236 (Construction and Architect- Engineer Contracts).

b. The solicitation sought proposals for United States Military Academy Bartlett Hall 4th Floor Conversion, Courtyard Wall, and Roof Repair Project Location: USMA at West Point, NY. The solicitation was issued with the FAR provision 52.232-18 Availabilty of Funds and clearly statedin block 10 of the SF1 1442: “THIS ACQUISITION IS SUBJECT TO

AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS. FUNDS ARE NOT PRESENTLY AVAILABLE FOR THIS

ACQUISITION. NO CONTRACT AW ARD WILL BE MADE UNTIL. APPROPRIATED

FUNDS ARE MADE AVAILABLE.;”

c. Proposals were due on 15 September 2025. The Government received five proposals in response to the solicitation.

3. JUSTIFICATION FOR CANCELLATION:

a. In the overhauled Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), the authority for the Source Selection Authority or Contracting Officer to reject all proposals is now located in Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) 15.201(b)(6) which states “The [Source Selection Authority] must . . . [s]elect the offeror or offerors whose proposal is the best value to the Government (10 U.S.C. 3303(c) and 41 U.S.C. 3703(c)). The SSA may reject all proposals received in response to a RFP, if doing so is in the best interest of the Government.” An agency must have a reasonable basis to cancel a solicitation in a negotiated procurement. The withdrawal, unavailability, or expiration of anticipated project funding constitutes a reasonable and compelling basis for cancellation.

b. On 28 May 2026, the Contracting Office was formally notified by the requiring activity that the funding programmed for this construction project is not available.

c. The anticipated appropriation to fund this specific project was not authorized or enacted in the current fiscal year budget. Because the Government does not possesses the necessary funds to award and execute the contemplated contract, proceeding with the source selection and award process is impossible. Therefore, the solicitation must be cancelled.

4. DETERMINATION: In accordance with RFO 15.201(b)(6), and based on the documented lack of available funds, I have determined it is in the best interest of the Government to cancel RFP W912DS25RA007. All offerors will be formally notified of the cancellation, and the cancellation notice will be posted to the Governmentwide Point of Entry (GPE) via SAM.gov.

Any questions regarding this cancellation should be directed to the Contracting Officer, Nicholas Emanuel.
