No party requested redactions; D ecisio n we-are therefore releasing the decision in its entirety. Matter of: Cybermedia Technologies, Inc. File: B-420881; B-420881.2 Date: October 14, 2022 John E. Jensen, Esq., Meghan D. Doherty, Esq., Robert C. Starling, Esq., and Ariella M. Cassell, Esq., Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, for the protester. Thomas K.

Wengert, Esq., and Tania Calhoun, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that agency misevaluated awardee's price and pricing risk is denied where the record shows the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with solicitation criteria. 2. Protest that awardee had an organizational conflict of interest resulting from its subcontractor's hiring of five former agency officials is denied where the record shows that four departed the agency before procurement planning began, and that the fifth was not involved in solicitation preparation before departing the agency. DECISION Cybermedia Technologies, Inc., of Reston, Virginia, a small business, protests the issuance of a task order to The Prospective Group, Inc., of Fairfax, Virginia, also a small business, under request for proposals (RFP) No. HS002122R0005, issued by the Department of Defense (DOD), Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA), for industrial security support services at Quantico, Virginia and at agency regional and field offices nationwide. Cybermedia argues that DOD misevaluated Prospective's price, and failed to properly assess and remedy the awardee's alleged conflict of interest. We deny the protest.
