         DIGEST

         Contracting agency reasonably determined not to reject the quotation from the
         vendor selected to receive an order for augmentation of the agency's procurement
         staff on the basis of organizational conflicts of interest (OCI) where any potential
         OCI  can be avoided by the careful assignment of work under the contract to ensure
         that the vendor's contracting specialists do not handle matters (procurements or
         contracts) in which the vendor has an interest.
         DECISION

         The LEADS  Corporation protests the Defense Contracting Command-Washington's
         (DCC-W)  issuance of an order (DASWO1-03-F-0810) to CACI, Inc.-Federal for support
         services. The order was issued to CACI under its General Services Administration
         Federal Supply Schedule contract. LEADS challenges DCC-W's acceptance of
         CACI's organizational conflict of interest (OCI) mitigation plan and the evaluation of
         proposals.

         We  deny the protest.

         DCC-W   furnishes contracting support to numerous Department of Defense
         components  in the Military District of Washington, processing over 10,000 contract
         actions in fiscal year 2002. Although the RFQ here generally described the required
         work  as furnishing acquisition services, contract management oversight, evaluation
         services, and assisting DCC-W in receiving, tracking, and processing acquisition
