DIGEST

1. Protest that the awardee had disqualifying organizational conflicts of interest (OCIs)
is denied where the agency investigated the protester's allegations and reasonably
concluded that work performed by the awardee's proposed subcontractors did not

advantage.

2. The awardee's failure to list a task order in the OCI disclosure portion of its quotation
does not provide a basis to sustain the protest where disclosure of that order was not
required by the solicitation.
