This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Armorworks Enterprises, LLC File: B-400394; B-400394.2 Date: September 23, 2008 Christopher R. Yukins, Esq., Kelly Busby, Esq., and Jill Newell, Esq., Arnold & Porter LLP, for the protester. Major Walter Dukes and David Scott, Esq. U.S. Army Materiel Command, for the agency. Edward Goldstein, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest allegations challenging agency's methodology for testing body armor are dismissed as untimely where the alleged problems were apparent from the face of the solicitation and the protester failed to raise its concerns prior to the time set for receipt of proposals. 2. To be timely, challenge to solicitation amendment, issued after initial proposals had been submitted and which did not provide offerors with an opportunity to submit revised proposals, should have been filed within 10 days of the issuance of the amendment. DECISION Armorworks Enterprises, LLC protests the exclusion of its proposal from the competitive range under request for proposals (RFP) No. W91CRB-07-R-0041, issued by the Army Materiel Command (AMC) for body armor. The protester challenges the agency's testing methodology and the testing failures of its body armor. We dismiss the protest in part and deny it in part. The RFP, issued on May 25, 2007, contemplates the award of multiple fixed-price, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (ID/IQ) contracts for Interceptor Body Armor Enhanced Small Arms Protective Inserts (ESAPI), as well as the next generation of hard ballistic inserts for Interceptor Body Armor, X Small Arms Protective Inserts
