Washington, DC 20548 DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. D e c is io n ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------. Matter of: Department of Veterans Affairs--Reconsideration File: B-412187.2 Date: April 4, 2017 John W. Tangalos, Esq., Frank V. DiNicola, Esq., Department of Veterans Affairs, for the agency. Bradley D. Wine, Esq., Pablo A. Nichols, Esq., and Sandeep Nandivada, Esq., Morrison & Foerster LLP, for ASM Research, the protester. Rand L. Allen, Esq., Kara M. Sacilotto, Esq., Brian G. Walsh, Esq., and George E. Petel, Esq., Wiley Rein LLP, for Booz Allen Hamilton, the intervenor. Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., and Laura Eyester, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency's request for reconsideration of a decision sustaining a protest that the agency failed to meaningfully consider potential conflicts of interest arising from the awardee's performance of two task orders is denied where the request does not demonstrate that the decision contained errors of fact or law that warrant reversal or modification of the decision. DECISION The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) requests that we reconsider our decision in ASM Research, B-412187, Jan. 7, 2016, 2016 CPD 38, in which we sustained the protest filed by ASM Research, of Fairfax, Virginia, which challenged the VA's issuance of a task order to Booz Allen Hamilton, of McLean, Virginia, under request for task execution plans (RTEP) No. T4-0671, for operation and maintenance support of computer cloud environments. The VA argues that our decision, which concluded that the agency failed to meaningfully consider whether the award to Booz Allen was tainted by organizational conflicts of interest (OCI), contained errors of law and fact that warrant reconsideration of our decision. We deny the request for reconsideration.
