Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Washington, DC 20548 The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Greenleaf Construction Company, Inc. File: B-293105.21; B-293105.22; B-293105.23 Date: April 4, 2007 Margaret A. Dillenburg, Esq., Alexander Brittin, Esq., and Jonathan D. Shaffer, Esq., Smith, Pachter, McWhorter & Allen, for the protester. James S. DelSordo, Esq., Argus Legal, L.L.C., for Chapman Law Firm Company, LPA, for the intervenor. Kimberly Y. Nash, Esq., and Robert J. Brown, Esq., Department of Housing and Urban Development, for the agency. David A. Ashen, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest asserting organizational conflict of interest is denied where contracting officer reasonably determined that owner of management and marketing (M&M) services contractor in Ohio had sold interest in closing agent contractor for Ohio, the activities of which the M&M contractor will oversee; mere fact that M&M owner initially was reluctant to forego further compensation for his interest in closing agent did not require contracting officer to question the veracity and reliability of notarized documents that indicated that there had been a complete cessation of any continuing financial ties between M&M owner and closing agent. DECISION Greenleaf Construction Company, Inc. protests the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) award of a contract to Chapman Law Firm Company, LPA (CLF), under request for proposals (RFP) No. R-OPC-22505, for single-family home management and marketing (M&M) services. Greenleaf primarily asserts that the award to CLF was precluded by an impermissible organizational conflict of interest (OCI). We deny the protest.
