No, because the causation goes the other way.
1. Congress approves money for Project X (through the MilCon subcommittee that Feinstein sat on).
2. Independent government agency puts Project X out for bids, selects contractors and begins work.
How does Feinstein having one of a dozen votes in #1 create a conflict in #2? The point here is that Congress/Feinstein is not selecting or approving contractors.
