is denied where agency reasonably determined that such designation by the protester
did not provide meaningful benefit to the government that warranted assessment of
additional strengths.

2. Protest that agency should have disqualified awardee on the basis of alleged
organizational conflicts of interest due to prior performance of other contracts is denied
where agency addresses each of the contracts on which the protest is based and the
protester has not shown that the agency's basis for its determinations regarding the
alleged conflicts was unreasonable.

3. Protest that agency was required to find awardee nonresponsible on the basis of a
qui tam suit is denied where the protester has not shown that the agency ignored any
information regarding the integrity of the awardee that should have been considered.
