COMPTROLLERDECISION
GAOREPORTS-B-286194-7
B-286194.7
Comptroller General Decision
Department of the Navy--Reconsideration, B-286194.7, May 29, 2002
1. Prior GAO decision sustaining a protest that challenged an agency's
decision to retain in-house performance of certain activities under a
Circular A-76 study properly characterized the team tasked with preparing
the agency's in-house management plan as ?essentially a competitor.?<p/>2. The nature and status of an agency team tasked with preparing the
in-house management plan in a Circular A-76 study do not justify exempting
that team from the conflict of interest limitations generally applied to
private-sector competitors.<p/>3. In complying with the conflict of interest requirements of Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 3.1, government officials involved in
A-76 procurements should consider the instruction and guidance provided by
FAR subpart 9.5.<p/>4. Where a protest establishes facts that constitute a conflict of interest
or an apparent conflict of interest, GAO will presume prejudice unless the
record affirmatively demonstrates its absence.<p/>5. Recommended corrective action addressing conflict of interest portion of
prior decision is modified to provide for only prospective application.
