         The protester alleged that its proposal was improperly
evaluated vis-a-vis its competitor's and that its competitor
proposed to employ the services of food procurement personnel
who had a conflict of interest. Examination of the record did
not reveal grounds to conclude that the agedcy acted arbitrarily
or unreasonably in its evaluation of the proposals. The
contention that the protester should have been selected because
of being more qualified than the awardee was without merit.
Since no provision of statute, regulation, or the request for
proposals prohibited the award because of the possible conflict
of interest on the part of contractor personnel, there was no
basis tc conclude that the award was improper. The protest was
denied. (Author/SC)
