         DIGEST

         1. Challenge to the agency's evaluation of the protester's quote as technically
         unacceptable is denied where the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with
         the terms of the solicitation.

         2. Protest that the awards to two firms was tainted by an unequal access to
         information organization conflict of interest is denied where the protester fails to
         present hard facts indicating the existence of a conflict and where the contracting
         officer reasonably found that no conflict existed.
         DECISION

         Cyberdata Technologies, Inc., of Herndon, Virginia, protests the decision by the
         General Services Administration (GSA) to establish blanket purchase agreements
         (BPAs) with Wexler Technical Solutions, Inc. (WTS), of Rockville, Maryland, and
         IDOX Solutions Inc., of Bethesda, Maryland, under request for quotes (RFQ) No.
         QID09140051 R for support in the development and the operations and
         maintenance of new Enterprise Data/Information Management environments. RFQ
         at 8. Cyberdata argues that the agency unreasonably found its quote technically
         unacceptable. The protester also contends that WTS and IDOX should have been
         eliminated from the competition due to organizational conflicts of interest (OCIs) that
         arose from an unfair competitive advantage that the awardee's received from their
         proposed subcontractor.
