          DIGEST

          Protest challenging agency's exclusion of an offeror from participation in a
          procurement is denied where the agency reasonably determined that the protester
          has an organizational conflict of interest arising from its preparation of technical
          specifications used by the agency in the solicitation.
          DECISION

          Lucent Technologies World Services Inc. protests its exclusion from participation in
          the competition under request for proposals (RFP) No. W914NS-05-R-9003, issued by
          the Department of the Army for Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) devices for use
          in the agency's Advanced First Responder's Network (AFRN) in Iraq.

          We deny the protest.

          BACKGROUND

          The RFP anticipated the award of an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract
          for TETRA devices, which consist of wireless radios and ancillary equipment that
          incorporate the TETRA communications standards used by emergency first
          responder personnel.
