             Matter of: Epoch Engineering, Inc.

             File:        B-276634

             Date:        July 7, 1997

             Michael W. Kauffman, Esq., Shulman, Rogers, Gandal, Pordy & Ecker, P.A., for the
             protester.
             Devon E. Hewitt, Esq., and Matthew A. Anzaldi, Esq., Shaw, Pittman, Potts &
             Trowbridge, for Applied Measurement Systems, Inc., an intervenor.
             Chris Hagberg, Esq., and Stephen H. S. Tryon, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the
             agency.
             Peter A. Jannicelli, Esq., and Michael R. Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
             GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
             DIGEST

             The contracting agency reasonably determined that the awardee's conflict of
             interest mitigation plan adequately avoided or mitigated potential conflicts that
             might arise if one of the awardee's proposed subcontractors were tasked to do
             work under particular delivery orders to be issued under an indefinite delivery/
             indefinite quantity contract for engineering and technical support services where:
             (1) the awardee's proposed conflict mitigation plan included a number of safeguards
             designed to detect potential conflicts and to assign work under those task orders to
             the prime and/or another subcontractor; and (2) the awardee has proposed more
             than enough qualified professional personnel who are not employed by the
             subcontractor with potential conflicts so that the awardee can successfully avoid
             conflicts and still perform the full scope of work contemplated by the solicitation.
             DECISION

             Epoch Engineering, Inc. protests the Naval Surface Warfare Center's award of an
             indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity, cost-plus-fixed-fee contract for engineering
             and technical support services to Applied Measurement Systems, Inc. (AMSI)
             pursuant to request for proposals (RFP) No. N00167-95-R-0128. Epoch contends
             that AMSI is ineligible for award under the express provisions of the RFP because
             one of AMSI's proposed subcontractors has an unavoidable organizational conflict
