William T. Irelan, Esq., Freideman, Irelan, Ward & Lamberton, P.C., an intervenor. Gary M. Winter, Esq., and Rumu Sarkar, Esq., United States Agency for International Development, for the agency. Susan K. McAuliffe, Esq., and Michael R. Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that the contracting agency improperly selected the awardee despite an alleged organizational conflict of interest (based upon a debt owed to an affiliate) is denied where the record does not support this allegation. DECISION International Management and Communications Corporation (IMCC) protests the award of a contract to Credit Union National Association (CUNA) under request for proposals (RFP) No. 96-02, issued by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) for technical assistance services to help revitalize Nicaragua's rural credit union system. The protester contends that CUNA is ineligible for award due to an improper organizational conflict of interest stemming from a debt owed by a recipient of services under the contract to an affiliate of the contractor. We deny the protest. USAID's Rural Credit Unions Program (RCUP) in Nicaragua aims to increase access to financial services for small savers and producers in and around market towns. The contractor, under the terms of the RFP, will provide technical assistance services to help credit unions and national credit union associations develop and market attractive financial services; the RFP's RCUP program provides for a 5-year period of restructuring and modernizing two national credit union associations and 10361023
