DIGEST

1. Protests that the awardee and its proposed subcontractor have organizational
conflicts of interest resulting from performance under prior and ongoing task orders is
denied, where the agency meaningfully considered the potential for conflicts.

2. Protest that the agency unreasonably selected the highest-priced, highest-rated
quotation is denied, where the agency considered the various strengths of the
awardee's quotation as compared to quotations that were assessed fewer or no
strengths.
DECISION

Superlative Technologies, Inc. (SuprTEK), of Ashburn, Virginia, and Atlantic Systems
Group, Inc. (ASG), of Rockledge, Florida, protest the issuance of a task order to
Command Post Technologies, Inc. (CPT), of Suffolk, Virginia, under request for
quotations (RFQ) No. 831709476, issued by the Defense Information Systems Agency
(DISA) for technical operations support. SuprTEK and ASG contend that the awardee
has organizational conflicts of interest (OCI) that DISA failed to recognize and consider
in evaluating quotations. SuprTEK also challenges the reasonableness of the agency's
best-value tradeoff decision.
