Protest that an awardee has an impaired objectivity organizational conflict of interest is denied where the agency's contracting officer investigated the awardee's relationship with its parent organization, and reasonably concluded that no conflict exists. 2. Protest of an agency's technical and past performance evaluations is denied where the evaluations were reasonable and consistent with the solicitation's evaluation criteria. DECISION MAXIMUS Federal Services, Inc. (Maximus), of Reston, Virginia, protests the issuance of a task order to C2C Solutions, Inc., of Jacksonville, Florida, under letter request for proposals (RFP) No. 140993, issued by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The solicitation sought proposals from qualified independent contractors to conduct reconsiderations of Medicare claim determinations. Maximus protests its technical and past performance evaluations, and contends that C2C has an organizational conflict of interest (OCI) that should have disqualified the firm from the competition. We deny the protest.
