          DIGEST

          1. Protest challenging the agency's past performance evaluation is denied where
          the agency reasonably based its evaluation on the only past performance
          questionnaire submitted to the agency.

          2. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of the awardee's staffing approach is
          denied where the awardee's proposed key personnel met the requirements of the
          solicitation.

          3. Protest alleging that the awardee had a disqualifying organizational conflict of
          interest is denied where the protester fails to identify hard facts which reflect an
          actual or potential conflict.
          DECISION

          SRM Group, Inc., of Atlanta, Georgia, protests the award of a task order to
          Technology, Automation & Management, Inc. (TeAM), of Falls Church, Virginia,
          under request for proposals (RFP) No. HT001 1-14-R-0038, which was issued by
          the Department of Defense, Defense Health Agency (DHA), for program
          management and technical support. SRM challenges the agency's evaluation of
          TeAM's staffing approach and past performance. The protester also asserts that
          TeAM failed to disclose potential organizational conflicts of interest (OCIs), as
          required by the solicitation.
