Eric M. Ransom, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that awardee had unmitigable impaired objectivity organizational conflicts of interest is denied where the contracting officer gave meaningful consideration to whether the awardee had the alleged organizational conflicts of interest and there is no clear evidence in the record that the agency's conclusion was unreasonable. 2. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of key personnel is sustained where the record demonstrates that multiple proposed individuals did not meet the minimum qualifications of the key personnel positions for which they were proposed. 3. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of past performance relevancy is sustained where the agency's evaluation record is insufficiently documented to allow our Office to review the reasonableness of the evaluation judgements. 4. Protest alleging that the agency conducted unequal discussions is sustained where the agency advised the awardee of past performance reference contracts that were evaluated by the agency as only somewhat relevant, but did not similarly advise the protester of its own somewhat relevant references.
