DIGEST Where agency acknowledges that awardee's substantial involvement in activities that are subject to environmental regulations could create a conflict of interest in performing certain tasks contemplated by the solicitation's scope of work, and agency gave no consideration to the impact of such potential conflicts in selecting awardee's proposal for contract award, agency failed to comply with Federal Acquisition Regulation requirement that it identify and evaluate potential organizational conflicts of interest. DECISION Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) protests the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) award of a contract to Lockheed Martin Services, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. PR-HQ-02-11750 to perform various tasks, including those related to systems development, data management, training, statistical services, and scientific applications. SAIC protests that the agency failed to properly consider Lockheed Martin's potential organizational conflicts of interest. We sustain the protest.
