          Joel E. Roberts, Esq., and Brian E. Smith, Esq., GrayRobinson, P.A., for the protester.
          Sonja C. King, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency.

          DIGEST

          Protest that the contracting agency should not have rejected the protester's proposal
          as late is denied, where the protester failed to submit a complete copy of its and its
          subcontractors' proposals in the correct format to the agency by the closing time for
          receipt of proposals.
          DECISION

          Metters, Incorporated, of Orlando, Florida, protests the rejection of its proposal as
          late by the Department of the Army under request for proposals (RFP)
          No. STOCII-10-KOV-015, which provides for the issuance of a delivery order for the
          design, development, fabrication, test and delivery of a virtual training system for
          dismounted  soldiers.

          We  deny the protest.

          BACKGROUND

          In January 2009, the Army awarded multiple indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity
          (ID/IQ) contracts for simulation and training products and services. The agency
          issued the RFP here to conduct a competition for the issuance of a delivery order on
          a best-value basis for a virtual training system under one of the contractor's ID/IQ
          contracts.

          Detailed instructions for the submission of proposals were provided, and, as
          amended,  the RFP required that proposals be received by the agency at the Army's
          Program  Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO),
