Nichols, Esq., and Sandeep Nandivada, Esq., Morrison & Foerster LLP, for the protester. Rand L. Allen, Esq., Kara M. Sacilotto, Esq., Brian G. Wash, Esq., and George E.

Kenneth Kilgour, Esq., and David A. Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest is sustained where agency failed to reasonably consider a potential conflict of interest that would be created by the awardee evaluating under one task order the performance of third-party mobile applications developed for a cloud environment which would have been developed, implemented, and deployed by the awardee under another task order. DECISION ASM Research, of Fairfax, Virginia, protests the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) issuance of a task order to Booz Allen Hamilton, of McLean, Virginia, under request for task execution plans (RTEP) No. T4-0671, for operation and maintenance support of cloud enclaves and associated environments, as well as the infrastructure software contained within each enclave. ASM asserts that Booz Allen has an unmitigatable organizational conflict of interest (OCI) that renders Booz Allen ineligible to receive the task order. We sustain the protest. BACKGROUND The RTEP, issued to contract holders under the Transformational Twenty-One Total Technology (T4) multiple-award, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (ID/lQ)
