Westfall-McGrail, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that agency failed to give adequate consideration to awardee's alleged organizational conflict of interest is denied where record shows the agency investigated whether the awardee had an organizational conflict of interest and reasonably concluded that none existed. DECISION Accenture Federal Services, LLC (AFS), of Arlington, Virginia, protests the issuance of a task order to IBM Corporation, of Bethesda, Maryland, under request for task order proposals (RFTOP) No. W52P1 J-1 5-R-0003, issued by the Department of the Army, U.S. Army Contracting Command, Rock Island, for a full range of services and solutions necessary to support, sustain, and maintain the Army's General Fund Enterprise Business System. AFS challenges the scope of corrective action undertaken by the agency in response to an earlier protest of the order. The protester also argues that IBM has an impermissible organizational conflict of interest that should render it ineligible for award. We dismiss in part and deny in part the protests.
