File: B-278037 Date: November 7, 1997 DECISION Dyna-Air Engineering Corp. protests the award of a contract to Ar Bee Corp. under request for quotations No. SPO750-97-Q-1676, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency for intake filter elements. We dismiss the protest because the agency is cancelling the underlying solicitation. The cancellation of a solicitation renders a protest academic. Morey Mach., Inc.--Request for Recon., B-233793.2, Aug. 3, 1989, 89-2 CPD Para. 102. We do not consider academic protests because to do so would serve no useful public policy purpose. We only consider protests against specific procurement actions and will not render to a protester what would be, in effect, an advisory decision.
