         DIGEST

         Protest that an agency revised a solicitation substantially without providing offerors
         sufficient time to complete the revised testing requirements is denied where
         protester was able to complete testing prior to the proposal due date under one of
         two alternative test conditions specified in the solicitation.
         DECISION

         GS Engineering, Inc. (GSE), of Houghton, Michigan, protests the terms of request
         for proposals (RFP) No. W56HZV-1 6-R-0051, issued by the Department of the
         Army, U.S. Army Materiel Command, for mine rollers and related spare parts and
         training. GSE argues that the solicitation amendments issued after the agency's
         corrective action, taken subsequent to a previous protest, substantially revised the
         solicitation without providing offerors sufficient time to complete the testing required
         under the solicitation.

         We deny the protest.

         BACKGROUND

         and 300 brackets for M1 151 high mobility multi-purpose wheeled vehicles
         (HMMWVs), along with spare parts and new equipment training for the Afghanistan
