DIGEST
1. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of the awardee's eligibility is denied
where the record demonstrates that the agency reasonably determined the awardee to
be the proper successor-in-interest to the entity which submitted the initial proposal.
2. Protest challenging the adjectival evaluation rating assigned to protester's technical
proposal is denied for lack of competitive prejudice where the record demonstrates the
agency's determination that the awardee was technically superior to the protester was
not based on the offerors' assigned ratings but on the underlying evaluation findings.
3. Protest challenging the agency's cost realism evaluation of protester's proposal is
denied where protester fails to show that it was competitively prejudiced by the action it
challenges.
4. Protest that the agency failed to give adequate consideration to the awardee's
potential organizational conflict of interest is dismissed where the protester fails to
demonstrate any hard facts reflecting a conflict.
5. Protest challenging the agency's best-value tradeoff decision is denied where the
record reflects the agency's rationale was reasonable, wholly consistent with the stated
evaluation criteria, and thoroughly documented.
