McCullough, Esq., and Brian M. Stanford, Esq., Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, for the protester. Brian A. Bannon, Esq., and David B. Dempsey, Esq., Blank Rome LLP, and Jeffery M. Chiow, Esq., Rogers Joseph O'Donnell, for MacAulay-Brown, Inc., the intervenor. Jason R. Smith, Esq. and Maj. David Gilkes, Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Pedro E. Briones, Esq., and Guy R. Pietrovito, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that an awardee's proposal of the protester's incumbent personnel reflected an organizational conflict of interest is denied where the contracting officer found that the awardee's proposal was not based upon access to nonpublic information as part of the awardee's performance of a government contract. 2. Protest that an agency unreasonably evaluated the protester's and awardee's technical proposals is denied, where the record shows that, consistent with the identified evaluation criteria, the agency found qualitative differences in the firms' proposed staffing levels. DECISION Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), of McLean, Virginia, protests the issuance of a task order to MacAulay-Brown, Inc., (MBI) of Dayton, Ohio, under request for proposals (RFP) No. FA0021 -11 -R-0007, issued by the Department of the Air Force for intelligence processing, exploitation, and dissemination (PED) support. SAIC argues that the Air Force failed to reasonably consider that MBI may have an organizational conflict of interest (OCI) and misevaluated the firms' technical proposals. We deny the protest.
