         DIGEST

         1. Protest that the agency should have found the awardee's quotation
         unacceptable is denied where the awardee's quotation met the requirements of the
         solicitation regarding the awardee's proposed teaming partners and their Federal

         suffered no prejudice as a result of the termination of some of the FSS contracts
         held by the awardee's proposed teaming partners.

         conflicts of interest is denied where the contracting officer reasonably found that the
         issuance of the task order would not create any disqualifying conflicts.
