The official said Huntsman, a former Utah governor, was "proud of the race he ran."
Ultimately, he "didn't want to stand in the way of the person with the best chance to beat President (Barack) Obama," the official told Reuters.
Huntsman has been lagging in opinion polls and finished third in last week's New Hampshire primary.
