         Date:        November 6, 2015

         Joseph P. Dirik, Esq., Norton Rose Fulbright US LLP, for BI Incorporated, an

         Willis J. Stamps III, Esq., Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency for the

         DIGEST

         Protest alleging that agency's program manager has an apparent conflict of interest
         is sustained where record shows that the agency's contracting officer recognized
         the apparent conflict of interest, but did nothing to investigate or mitigate the
         conflict.
         DECISION

         Satellite Tracking of People, LLC (STOP), of Houston, Texas, protests the issuance
         of a task order to BI Incorporated, of Boulder, Colorado, under request for
         quotations (RFQ) No. 15-Q-0143, issued by the Court Services and Offender
         Supervision Agency for the District of Columbia (CSOSA) for global positioning
         system (GPS) equipment and monitoring services. 1 STOP maintains that the
         agency misevaluated quotations and made an unreasonable source selection
         decision. STOP also maintains that an employee of the agency had a conflict of
         interest that CSOSA failed to mitigate that resulted in the acquisition being tainted.


         1 CSOSA is a federal agency established in the executive branch and, therefore,
         subject to our jurisdiction. D.C. Code § 24-133(a); see also Cooper v. Johnson, et
         al., 652 F. Supp. 2d. 33 (D.D.C. 2009).
