          File:        B-297022.3

          Date:        January 9, 2006

          DIGEST

          Protest is sustained where record does not support the agency's assessment
          regarding the maximum potential for organizational conflicts of interest to occur
          during awardee's contract performance where awardee, a manufacturer of spectrum-
          dependent products, will perform various activities requiring subjective judgments
          that may affect the sales or use of spectrum-dependent products of the awardee, the
          awardee's competitors, and the awardee's customers.
          DECISION

          Alion Science & Technology Corporation protests the Defense Information Systems
          Agency's (DISA) award of a contract to Advanced Engineering & Sciences,
          a division of ITT Industries, Inc. (ITT), under request for proposals (RFP)
          No. HC1047-05-R-4009 to provide electromagnetic spectrum engineering services for
          DISA's Joint Spectrum Center (JSC). Alion protests that, in light of ITT's significant
          interests in the manufacture and marketing of spectrum-dependent products, the
          agency failed to reasonably consider the extent of organizational conflicts of interest
