          Decision

          Matter of: Science Applications International Corporation

          File:        B-293601.5

          Date:        September 21, 2004

          James J. McCullough, Esq., Deneen J. Melander, Esq., Steven A. Alerding, Esq., and
          Abram J. Pafford, Esq., Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson, for the protester.
          Thomas L. McGovern, III, Esq., Michael J. Vernick, Esq., and Todd R. Overman, Esq.,
          Hogan & Hartson, for Lockheed Martin Services, Inc., an intervenor.
          Jonathan S. Baker, Esq., Environmental Protection Agency, for the agency.
          Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., and Michael R. Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
          GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          Where agency previously failed to give any consideration to potential conflicts of
          interest between awardee's performance of contract requirements and awardee's
          involvement in environmentally-regulated activities, agency's corrective actions
          adequately remedy prior procurement flaws where agency has reviewed additional
          information regarding the ongoing, environmentally-regulated activities of the
          awardee, has considered that information in the context of the scope of work
          reasonably contemplated under this contract, and has procedures in place for the
          agency's independent assessment of potential conflicts between each task order's
          requirements and the awardee's ongoing activities.
          DECISION

          Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) protests the corrective action
          taken by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in response to this
          Office's decision in Science Applications Int'l Corp., B-293601 et al., May 3, 2004,
          2004 CPD   96, wherein we sustained SAIC's earlier protest challenging the award of
          a contract to Lockheed Martin Services, Inc. pursuant to request for proposals (RFP)
          No. PR-HQ-02-11750. SAIC protests that the agency's corrective actions are
          insufficient to address the procurement flaws identified in our earlier decision.


We deny the protest.
