DIGEST
1. Protest challenging agency's affirmative determination of responsibility of awardee is
denied where the protester has not shown that the contracting officer unreasonably
ignored information that would be expected to have a strong bearing on whether the
awardee should be found responsible.
2. Protest alleging that awardee gained an unfair competitive advantage based on
employment of a former government official is denied where the agency, after
investigating the alleged conflict of interest, reasonably concluded that the former official
did not have access to non-public, competitively useful information.
3. Protest challenging agency's evaluation of technical proposals is denied where the
record shows the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the solicitation criteria,
and the protester was not competitively prejudiced by any evaluation error.
4. Protest of agency's best-value tradeoff decision is denied where the protester has
not shown that the underlying evaluation was unreasonable.
