agency may withdraw the designation of the set-aside contract and resolicit bids on

an unrestricted basis pursuant to the provisions of P.L.1971, c. 198 ( C.40A:11-1 et seq. ). The cancelled designation shall not be considered in determining the percentage

as appropriate, shall be notified in writing of the set-aside cancellation, the reasons

pursuant to the provisions of P.L.1971, c. 198 ( C.40A:11-1 et seq. ). The cancelled bid solicitation shall not be considered in determining the percentage
