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: Lynchval Systems Worldwide, Inc. File: B-420295.4 Date: April 26, 2022 Antonio R. Franco, Esq., Jacqueline K. Unger, Esq., Eric A. Valle, Esq., and Anna G. Sullivan, Esq., Piliero Mazza PLLC, for the protester. David S. Cohen, Esq., John J. O'Brien, Esq., and Rhina Cardenal, Esq., Cordatis LLP, for Deloitte Consulting, LLP, the intervenor. Corey Garlick, Esq., Kristen Zearfoss, Esq., and Dawn M. Velarde, Esq., Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, for the agency. Sarah T. Zaffina, Esq., and Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that award was tainted by organizational conflicts of interest is denied where the record does not support allegations that the awardee drafted specifications or had access to non-public information that would have provided a competitive advantage, and where the protester's assertions do not present the hard facts necessary to refute the agency's conclusion that the awardee's participation in this procurement was not barred by an impermissible conflict of interest. DECISION Lynchval Systems Worldwide, Inc. (Lynchval), a small business of Herndon, Virginia, protests the award of a contract to Deloitte Consulting, LLP (Deloitte), of Arlington, Virginia, under request for proposals (RFP) No. 16PBGC21 R0010, issued by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) for services developing and supporting the single-employer Transformational Pension Insurance Modeling System (T-PIMS) technology modernization effort. The protester contends that the award to Deloitte was improper because Deloitte has organizational conflicts of interest (OCIs). We deny the protest.
