Protest challenging agency's evaluation of proposals is denied where the evaluation was reasonable and in accordance with the terms of the solicitation. 2. Protest alleging agency failed to evaluate a potential unequal access to non-public information organizational conflict of interest is dismissed where the issue involves only private parties. DECISION Choctaw Defense Munitions, LLC, an 8(a) small business of McAlester, Oklahoma, protests the award of a contract to Cherokee Nation Aerospace & Defense, LLC, an 8(a) small business of Huntsville, Alabama, under request for proposals (RFP) No. W81XWH-21-R-0004, issued by Department of the Army, Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity for support services for the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Overseas program.

The protester also contends the awardee failed to disclose, and the agency failed to evaluate, a potential organizational conflict of interest (OCI). We deny the protest in part and dismiss it in part.
