Nora K. Adkins, Esq. and Amy B. Pereira, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,
participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

1. Protest challenging agency's evaluation of protester's key personnel resumes is

criteria.

2. Protest challenging agency's resolution of potential conflict of interests is denied
where the agency adequately mitigated the potential conflict of interests uncovered
during the agency's investigation.
DECISION

Seventh Dimension, LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB),
located in Mocksville, North Carolina, protests the award of a contract to SOLKOA Inc.,
a SDVOSB located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, issued by the Department of the
Army pursuant to request for proposals (RFP) No. W9124G-1 7-R-0001 for full spectrum
survival, evasion, resistance, and escape (SERE) level C instruction and instructional
support services. The protester contends the agency failed to reasonably evaluate
Seventh Dimension's key personnel resumes and alleges that the agency failed to fully
mitigate potential conflict of interests uncovered during the agency's investigation.'

1 Because Seventh Dimension proceeded without an attorney, no protective order was
issued in this protest. A full version of the agency report was provided to our Office, and
a redacted version of the report was furnished to the protester. As much of the
information reviewed by our Office is source selection sensitive and/or proprietary in
nature, our discussion of some aspects of the agency's evaluation and conflict of
interest investigation is necessarily general in nature.
