Strache, Esq., Latham & Watkins, for the protester. Paul F. Khoury, Esq., and Mark H. Neblett, Esq., Wiley, Rein & Fielding, an interveno r. Bernard J. Roan, Esq., and Donna J. Bartoe, Esq., National Aeronautics and Space Administration, for the agency. Sylvia Schatz, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that evaluation failed to take into account experience of protester's proposed subcontractor is denied where record shows this experience was considered, but was rated as only fair, compared to the awardee's rating of ''excellent, since protester and its proposed subcontractors had limited experience compared to the incumbent awardee. 2. Protester's proposed travel costs properly were adjusted upward based on the costs under the incumbent contract, where protester's proposal failed to provide the basis of the estimates for its proposed travel costs, as required by the solicitation, and the incumbent contract was based on the same performance approach as protester proposed. DECISION Centra Technology, Inc. (CTI), a wholly owned subsidiary of Defense Group, Inc. (DGI), protests the award of a contract to TechTrans International, Inc. (TTI) under request for proposals (RFP) No. 9-BP2-H50-6-01P, issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for Russian language and logistics services for the Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas. CTI challenges the evaluation of its proposal and argues that the award was improper due to an improper conflict of interest. We deny the protest. 1240115
