DIGEST
1. Protest challenging numerous aspects of agency's evaluation of the protester's
technical and price proposal is denied because the evaluation was reasonable and
consistent with the solicitation.
2. Protest arguing awardee has an unmitigated impaired objectivity organizational
conflict of interest is dismissed where the protester is not an interested party to raise
this allegation because it would not be in line for award even if this protest ground were
to be sustained.
DECISION
TekSynap Corporation, a small business of Reston, Virginia, protests the National
Geospatial-Intelligence Agency's (NGA) award of a contract to Chenega Agile
Real-Time Solutions, LLC (CARS), a small business, of Lorton, Virginia, pursuant to
request for proposals (RFP) No. HM0476-20-R-0001, to provide various enterprise
management information technology (IT) support services. The protester argues that
the agency unreasonably evaluated proposals and alleges that the awardee has an
unmitigable organizational conflict of interest (OCI) rendering it ineligible for award.

We deny the protest.
