Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that awardee had unequal access to information type of organizational conflict of interest is denied where allegations were based upon suspicion and not hard facts, agency's investigation was meaningful, and agency reasonably concluded that awardee did not have access to nonpublic information that would provide firm a competitive advantage in procurement. 2. Protest is sustained where solicitation required proposal of loaded labor rates to be used as ceiling rates in future task order competitions and awardee failed to propose rates for 20 labor categories; omission in awardee's proposal constitutes material omission rendering proposal unacceptable. 3. Protest is sustained where agency's failure to provide common cutoff date for revised proposals may have prejudiced protester (one of original competitive range offerors). 4. Protest is sustained where agency treated offerors unequally by assigning strength to awardee's proposal for management feature while failing to credit protester's proposal with a strength for a comparable feature, and failed properly to apply evaluation criteria by giving another awardee's proposal credit for key personnel under wrong evaluation factor.
