Matter of: Point Blank Enterprises, Inc. File: B-411839; B-411839.2 Date: November 4, 2015 Paul A. Debolt, Esq., Elizabeth Ann Buehler, Esq., Collier L. Johnson II, Esq., and James Y. Boland, Esq., Venable LLP, for the protester. Ruth E. Ganister, Esq., Rosenthal and Ganister, LLC, for Hawk Protection, Inc., and Bethel Industries; and Albert B. Krachman, Esq., Kendra P. Norwood, Esq., Harrison H. Kang, Esq., and Brian S. Gocial, Esq., Blank Rome LLP, for KDH Defense Systems, Inc., the intervenors. Wade L. Brown, Esq., and Jan S. McNutt, Department of the Army, for the agency. Laura Eyester, Esq., Cherie J. Owen, Esq., and David A. Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that agency acted improperly in awarding indefinite-delivery/indefinite- quantity contracts to three offerors when one of the offerors was proposed to furnish at least one significant component to the other two is denied where the solicitation provision in question, that no offeror may receive more than one award, did not on its face preclude a prime contractor from also serving as a subcontractor to another awardee. DECISION Point Blank Enterprises, Inc., of Pompano Beach, Florida, protests the Department of the Army, Army Materiel Command's award of contracts to Bethel Industries (Bethel), of Jersey City, New Jersey, Hawk Protection, Inc. (Hawk), of Pembroke Pines, Florida, and KDH Defense Systems, Inc. (KDH), of Eden, North Carolina, under request for proposals (RFP) No. W91CRB-15-R-0030, for torso and extremity protection modular scalable vests. Point Blank asserts that the Army's evaluation of Point Blank's subcontracting plan was unreasonable, and that the three award decisions otherwise were improper. We deny the protest.
