Protest based on an alleged violation of the Procurement Integrity Act and alleged conflicts of interest is denied where the record does not support the protester's allegations. 2. Protest challenging contracting officer's affirmative determination of responsibility is dismissed where the assertion on which the protest is based does not constitute the type of allegation that triggers Government Accountability Office (GAO) review of affirmative responsibility determinations under GAO's Bid Protest Regulations. DECISION The GEO Group, Inc., of Boca Raton, Florida, protests the award of a contract to Community First Services, Inc. (CFS), of New York, New York, by the Department of Justice, Bureau of Prisons (BOP), under request for proposals (RFP) No. 200-1042- NE, for residential reentry center (RRC) services. In its protest, GEO alleges that CFS violated the Procurement Integrity Act, 41 U.S.C. § 423(a) (2006), CFS had an improper, unmitigated, unequal access to information organizational conflict of interest, and the agency should have found CFS nonresponsible.
