DIGEST

1. Protests that award was tainted by conflicts of interest is denied where the record
does not support allegations that a non-governmental advisor improperly influenced the
procurement  to favor the awardee, and where the protesters' assertions do not present
the hard facts necessary to refute the agency's conclusion that no actual personal or
organizational conflicts of interest exist.

2. Protest that the acquisition of awardee's parent company prior to award rendered its
quotation stale and ineligible for award is denied where the quotation informed the
agency  of the impending corporate transaction and the agency reasonably concluded
that the transaction would not have a material impact on performance, and where the
protester has not shown that the resources included in the awardee's quotation have
been rendered  unavailable by the transaction or that the awardee intends to perform in
a manner  differently than what was proposed.

3. Protests challenging the evaluation of quotations and selection decision are denied
where the record shows that both were reasonable and consistent with the terms of the
solicitation.
