          DIGEST

          Government Accountability Office will not consider protest of an award of a
          subcontract as by the government where the prime contractor drafted the portion
          of the solicitation pertaining to evaluation of vendor responses; participated
          substantially in the evaluation of responses and selection of a product for award; and
          will be responsible for administration of the subcontract.
          DECISION

          STR, L.L.C. protests the proposed award of a subcontract by SRA International, Inc.,
          a government prime contractor, to Infoterra, Inc. The subcontract is for a grants
          management software program to be used by the Agency for International
          Development (AID) and the Department of State.

          We dismiss the protest.

          SRA holds a contract with the General Services Administration (GSA) Federal
          Systems Integration and Management Center pursuant to which it is performing a
          task order for information management services for AID. In its capacity as a
          government prime contractor, SRA issued a request for information (RFI) on
          August 12, 2005, seeking detailed information on commercially available acquisition
          and assistance systems capable of satisfying the requirements of AID and the
          Department of State for a Joint Acquisition and Assistance Management System
          (JAAMS). The RFI explained that AID and State required proven commercial off-the-
          shelf products based on mature, fully developed systems already in production in
          other federal agencies, and that vendors could offer already integrated products or
          individual products capable of being integrated by SRA to meet the agencies'
