         Matter of:   Science Applications International Corporation

         File:        B-406921; B-406921.2

         Date:        October 1,2012

         James J. McCullough, Esq., Michael J. Anstett, Esq., and Brian M. Stanford, Esq.,
         Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, for the protester.
         Michael F. Mason, Esq., Michael D. McGill, Esq., C. Peter Dugan, Esq., and Erin L.
         Alexander, Esq., Hogan Lovells US LLP, for Lockheed Martin Corporation
         Information Systems & Global Solutions, the intervenor.
         JoAnn Melesky, Esq., Department of Defense, Defense Information Systems
         Agency, for the agency.
         Nora K. Adkins, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General
         Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
         DIGEST

         1. Protest challenging agency's evaluation of awardee's technical risk is denied
         where the record shows that the agency performed a reasonable evaluation of risk
         in accordance with the solicitation's evaluation criteria.

         2. Protest challenging agency's evaluation of awardee's cost/price is dismissed to
         the extent that the protester untimely challenged the solicitation's price evaluation
         scheme after the time for receipt of proposals; the evaluation of price was otherwise
         reasonable and consistent with the evaluation scheme.

         3. Agency's investigation of the awardee's alleged unequal access to information
         organizational conflict of interest related to the awardee's hiring of a government
         employee was reasonable, where the agency determined that the employee did not
         have access to non-public, source selection information, and where the record
         shows the employee did not assist the awardee in writing its proposal.
         DECISION

         Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), of McLean, Virginia, protests
         the award of a contract to Lockheed Martin Corporation Information Systems &
         Global Solutions (Lockheed), of Manassas, Virginia, issued by the Department of
