Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States ....................................................................................................................... DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to Decision a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: Interactive Information Solutions, Inc. File: B-415126.2; B-415126.3; B-415126.4 Date: March 22, 2018 Christopher R. Shiplett, Esq., Randolph Law, PLLC, for the protester. Robert J. Symon, Esq. and Lisa A. Markman, Esq., Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP, for Unified Business Technologies, Inc., the intervenor. Jonathan A. Hardage, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency. Robert T. Wu, Esq., and Peter H. Tran, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that the awardee had an unfair competitive advantage because of its employment of a former high-level government employee is denied where the record does not support the allegation. 2. Protest that the agency unreasonably evaluated the awardee's proposal as technically acceptable is denied where the evaluation was reasonable, in accordance with the stated evaluation criteria, and the solicitation was not latently ambiguous. DECISION Interactive Information Solutions, Inc. (IISI), of Springfield, Virginia, protests the award of a contract to Unified Business Technologies, Inc. (UBT), of Troy, Michigan, by the Department of the Army, Army Contracting Command - Aberdeen Proving Grounds, under request for proposals (RFP) No. W91CRB-17-R-0005 for web and programming support services. IISI argues that UBT had an organizational conflict of interest, challenges the agency's determination that UBT's proposal was acceptable under the stated evaluation scheme, and contends that the solicitation contains a latent ambiguity. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND The RFP, issued on March 13, 2017, sought proposals from small businesses to provide web and programming support services for the U.S. Army Security Assistance
