Alleged Improper Contract Award

The protester alleged that his competitor's bid should not have been accepted because: a subcontractor had a conflict of interest, evaluation criteria were improperly applied, and negotiations were not conducted fairly. The facts do not show that the alleged conflict of interest will affect contract performance. Since the protester's proposal was properly judged to be technically unacceptable, price considerations are not applicable. The protester failed to prove that the agency did not inform it of the proposal deficiencies.
