Protest challenging the reasonableness of the agency's organizational conflict of interest investigation is denied where the agency reasonably found the awardee's work under a previous task order did not result in the awardee having access to nonpublic, competitively useful information. DECISION NetCentrics Corporation, of Herndon, Virginia, protests the issuance of an order under a blanket purchase agreement (BPA) to Leidos, Inc., of Gaithersburg, Maryland, under request for quotations (RFQ) No. 29FTC122Q0002, issued by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for information technology (IT) services and solutions.
